'Read all' keyboard command and general tips for iBooks on the Mac

2016-01-29 Thread Robin Christopherson 
Dear listers

I had a dabble using iBooks on the Mac and it seems like it’s hit and miss 
about keeping your place when reading. I know the two finger downward swipe on 
the trackpad to start reading from current position but I’m not sure if this is 
the best way of starting and stopping reading as it seems like I sometimes 
started from the top of the page again after pausing. Is it better to do a 
keystroke instead and if so what is it as it doesn’t appear to be listed in the 
commands menu? If there is one does this keystroke also work in iOS?

Also is there a setting in the VO manager I need to have set to ensure I pick 
up where I left off? I do have it to track focus with the VO cursor.

Lastly, any other tips about how to use iBooks on both the Mac and iOS would be 
much appreciated. Now we have the fantastic Ava as an option on the Mac and the 
lovely British Siri lady for a voice on iOS listening to ebooks is now a very 
pleasant experience.

Thanks, Robin.

It works best when you interact with the text first before reading.
