Hi Nicolai, It is possible to get books that you have purchased through the Mac-access service included in your library on the take control site. This is what I have done. Reading a book in preview, the text "Check for updates" at the beginning of the book is a link even though VO doesn't recognize it. Click this text with vo shift space to go to the site, and then login. This will add the book to your library.
