Greg,
I think you made a good point about the scrolling. I think after thinking
about this however, it’s much more complicated. While a blind person is able
to read a book, I don’t think that Voiceover is interacting with the scroll
area properly at all.
I looked at what I wrote, and I realized that it might have come across as
slightly confrontational. That was not my intention at all.
I think that iBooks is so ruff at this stage, that Apple has to know that there
are problems. The first dp version didn’t work at all. So it’s actually come
a long way. It was quite holarious. I don’t really understand why they
haven’t spent more time with it sense they had built it up, but I’m sure that
there will be more done one it soon.
Take care.

I am reporting the following accessibility issues about iBook for MacOS. Not
that in the case of some unreachable controls I have enclosed the Accessibility
Inspector information which should aid in correcting theses issues. I would
point out that the Accessibility Inspector is able to quickly tell a developer
if a control is accessible or not.
1. VoiceOver reading of a book does not turn the pages of the books as they are
read.
2. Book cover images do not have title/author information. This could be
corrected by implementing IPTC captions on the images. A work around is to
insure that the Show Titles option is in the view menu is set.
3. The bookstore is listed as a window even when it is not reachable with
VoiceOver
4. The book reading window has a number of unlabelled buttons which are as
follows:
