David, Nope, you can't lock the screen and have iBooks continuously read. But you can lock the orientation on your iPod so picking it up and moving it won't change anything and your book will still play. Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply

. There appears to be no way to navigate by line in iBooks accept to move one finger up and down the screen and letting voice over read what is under your finger.
