Hi Graham, You can read by line with iBooks. Simply run your finger down the screen till it reads the line you want, I don't find it takes me too long to find the line I'm after. Then you can read by character or word with VoiceOver as normal by selecting them from the rota.

I've looked at IBooks and one thing that I found annoying is that you can't read by line which is useful when looking at small chunks of text. Still I imagine it is particularly easy to use IBooks when working in conjunction with a Bluetooth keyboard or a Braille display Regards Graham -----Original Message----- From: Bcab [mailto:bcab-bounces@lists.bcab.org.uk] On Behalf Of Mel Griffiths Sent: 28 November 2012 09:16 To: BCAB Discussion List Subject: Re: [BCAB] Kobo Hi Graham, I tried Kobo a little while ago and didn't like it. It's a while since I tried it so I'm not sure what it was I didn't like about it and its long gone from my phone. It may well have been that I simply preferred iBooks which is very easy to use. There is also a Nook app now which is very accessible too. Unlike iBooks, you can't buy books directly from your phone, but the website is easy to use. Personally, I prefer iBooks and would look there for a title first. I am told though that Nook has a far greater range of titles. At a glance the prices of books seem very similar between these two apps.

Has anyone tried it and is it quite easy to use? I've been wondering about EBook readers for IPhone but I understand Kindle is not accessible.
