System Access does that too. Anyway, learn to use heading commands, item

There are a lot of things you can do to fiddle and troubleshoot such
issues. Do you have examples of sites and what you are specifically looking
for? The reality is that VoiceOver and Safari are not perfect, but neither are

Alas Gordon, for me the books were synced and present on the device.
Interestingly, Apple contacted me through the bug reporter utility as soon as
the GM seed was released to ascertain if the bug still remained. It didn't, so
I closed it.
