I rarely used Microsoft Edge as my browser to my Windows 10 machine. I may suggest to try other browsers instead like Firefox, Google Chrome or the like that suits your needs specially in trying to login or using the mobile site of facebook.

Hello,
Once you have hit control plus J tab a time or two and you should land
on a heading that says today. This is the downloads you have done
today. The first one under this heading should be your current
download. If you arrow down a bit you will hear a line that has the
path where the download is going. This line will also have the speed
of your download. If you go down one more line you should hear the
percentage. It will be read as a normal number like 34. I don’t think
it says percent but this is the percent of your download.

Regards,
Greg Wocher

Hi everyone,,

Not to throw a spanner in the works, but is it not correct that Calibre
will only convert DRM-free ebooks?

Thanks

codex is at www.jscholes.net/projects/codex and is a calibre frontend

Heh, I'm one of those who would report the touch gestures work just
fine. :)
I have a windows 8.1 machine and NVDA touch gestures do indeed work just
fine. There's one gesture that isn't in the documentation, (don't
remember which one, though I did report it here), but otherwise, I can
work with the gestures just fine. I don't use them often, but they do
come in handy for certain tasks, or if I don't feel like turning on my
wireless keyboard for just a couple quick and simple things.
