Re: Reading EPUB books on the Mac

I believe you can set fullscreen apps to cause do not disturb to turn on. That might be helpful for the interruptions cause my notifications. Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn > On Nov 18, 2017, at 7:31 PM, Devin Prater wrote: > > Voice dream, as far as I know, is not available

Re: Reading EPUB books on the Mac

Hi, i have not used the Mac much of late for Ebooks. On the Mac i have done different things, scanned them with a book scanner , and read them , made pubs into rtf documents and read them too, it depends on the format you are using i guess. Sandie Sent from my iPad > On 19 Nov 2017, at

Re: Reading EPUB books on the Mac

And my apologies again. Yes clearly says Mac, and I was thinking iOS. I’ve read so many more books on my iPhone and iPad that I have on my back. On my Mac I have used iBooks. But I haven’t read for any length of time only look for parts of a document. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 18, 2017, at

Re: Reading EPUB books on the Mac

Thanks. I'll have to work with iBooks a little more, as it usually stops reading, with Voiceover, after a few pages. MacBook early 2015 here, with SSD. Devin Prater Assistive Technology instructor in training, JAWS Sertified. > On Nov 18, 2017, at 7:14 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: >

Re: Reading EPUB books on the Mac

Hi, The iBooks app is very usable with VO. Myself, I've turned off the notifications for Mail so that all I hear is the ding, not the preview of the message. This has stopped the interruptions for me. I guess I might still get some iMessage interruptions, but I've decided to leave those

Hi, I was recently turned onto voice dream. It works really well, it’s designed for visually impaired and dyslexic. It’s very customizable. As far as notifications can’t really comment I don’t get too many notifications that interrupt. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 18, 2017, at 18:47, Devin

Reading EPUB books on the Mac

Hi all. What are ways that listers read EPUB and other eBooks on the Mac? I know about iBooks, but how usable is it with Voiceover and whole books? Also, how do people deal with reading when notifications come in and stop voiceover from reading further? Devin Prater Assistive Technology

Re: Reading Epub Books on the Mac

I will give bookle a try. So far, most of my ePub books are all DRM-free from other sources outside Apple. Yes, iBooks for the mac would be the best because you could then sync books and bookmarks over iCloud like you can between iOS devices. This will do for the time being. On Oct 1, 2012,

Re: Reading Epub Books on the Mac

Epub is just a fancy name for a zip file with the HTML book and some other files specific to ebook readers. Why not just change the file extension to .zip extract the archive and load index.html in your favourite browser. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: Reading Epub Books on the Mac

That's an interesting background; I thought there was more to it than that. Problem with using a browser is you can't do the kind of things that you can do in iBooks like precise bookmarking, annotation, and browsers don't keep their place like iBooks would do either. I'm just surprised there

There is (or was) Stanza, but it won't open drm-protected books, such as Ibooks titles. It's very hard to get Stanza now, as all the links I've found for it are either broken or hijacked. Teresa On Oct 1, 2012, at 3:50 AM, Steve Holmes steve.holme...@gmail.com wrote: That's an interesting

Re: Reading Epub Books on the Mac

Hi. You can use adobe preview accessible version. I bought a while ago a program called bookle. It should be accessible with VoiceOver, but there seems to be something to it, that I have missed. I have some navigation problems. Best regards Annie. Den Oct 1, 2012 kl. 2:46 PM skrev Steve

Reading Epub Books on the Mac

Bookle is an accessible app for reading DRM free ePub books on the Mac. It can be found in the Mac app store. I agree there should be a Mac app for reading DRM protected books on the Mac. It's strange Apple hasn't brought out iBooks for the Mac. It's a shame too, as I quite like iBooks. --

Reading Epub Books on the Mac

This may have been asked before but I don't recall answers just now. I'm wondering if there are any apps for the Mac to read epub books ala iBooks fashion? Sure Ibooks is fine on the iPod but when I'm home in front of my mac, I would like to be able to read them there instead without altering
