Hi Eileen, Back in the good old days, it used to be possible to navigate within an iBook page buy whatever you had your rotor set two, such as lines. Then that lovely setting went away. I know that I have asked Apple accessibility after every iBooks upgrade to get this put back. Thus far, they have not done it. I wish everyone who uses iBooks and who would like to be able to navigate within an iBook page by using the rotor would write to accessibility at apple and let them know that you would like this feature restored as soon as possible. It really was so helpful, and why they thought they needed to take it away and haven't put it back I have no idea. Mary
