Hi Esther -- Thanks for following up on this. I did get Kobo working on my iPhone after reading Anne's response on avis. It was a simple matter of my needing to login to my kobo account. Once I did that, my library became visible to VO, and when I logged out it became invisible again. I haven't

Hello Paula, I'm afraid my version of Kobo may be different from yours as I'm in France and have the Kobo by FNAC version, which is the only one I can get here. You could try having someone sighted look at it with VoiceOver off, but I see that Jane hasn't had much luck with that approach
