Return key will open books. Then you interact with scroll area, then with html content. You may get more than one html area with an epub book, and I’m not sure how that translates to the layout of a book. I sometimes get more than one html area, and each one is a chapter.
The buttons have no text labels or help tags, so I’m not going to mess with them for now. I might ‘see what they do” if I’m curious. i’m going to write Apple accessibility about this issue. When I try using the arrow keys in the Table of Contents, it goes away. For now, I turn cursor-tracking off and then bring the mouse over to the VO cursor when I want a chapter, or press command-shift-left and right arrows to navigate by chapter. I have mixed feelings about this app. It’s definitely useable and books are very accessible, but the controls are a bit wonky iMO. Teresa On the other hand, there are different fingers.
