Re: iBooks and Yosemite

2014-10-24 Thread David Griffith
Depending on whether you are in single or two page view you can navigate 
by single or two pages simply by pressing the up and down arrow keys.
Theoretically I think you should be able to navigate  by chapter with 
shift command left and right arrow from memory but I am not sure about 
this yet as it did not appear to work on one book but that may have been 
a book structure fault.
You can read by normal VO reading keys fore line etc but I cannot find a 
paragraph read equivalent.

Quick Nav rota commands for line paragraph
 word and character and so on do not appear to work. This is a shame.
I am still investigating like you.

Hi all
I tried  iBooks last night by opening an Epub document from my iCloud Drive. 
Sure enough, VoiceOver read the book, or at least sporadically anyway, but how 
do I actually navigate the text? Is this even possible? Great to see iBooks 
fully accessible under Yosemite though.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ello,
I almost love iBooks now. But! Sometimes it just keeps reading the same page
over again and again. Or it will just stop at the bottom of a page. While in
other books, VO tracks and reads just fine.
Book Marks work also.

been an update which will give me text, not a meaningless number, for a
bookmark. Any comments from anyone? Thank you.

Hi Joseph,
When you say bookmarks work do you mean that you actually get text with the 
bookmark? Or when you go through your bookmark list, do you just get page 
numbers?

Hello,
Yep. Book Marks do work. When you set a Mark, then when you go to locate it, it 
will read a bit of the text to let you know what you'v selected.
