Max, Are you using SL or Lion with the Adobe application? It seems people with Lion are reporting crashes upon interacting with a page. Also, just to clarify, should this Adobe beta allow the use of books from the google store as well as Kobo and Barnes and Noble's nook store? I've been out of t

Thanks. I've managed to download some books from Kobo and i'm reading them with Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 preview. Just to put it very clearly - you need to interact with the page, then make sure that quicknav is off, and then you can page back and forward with left and right. It works pretty well

Hello Max, I'm not Jane, but I've started using Adobe Digital Editions Preview. Theoretically, you can interact with the page and read using the usual VO reading commands. However, I find that every time I interact with the page, VO crashes. As for continuous reading, it isn't currently possib

This is great news. I haven't checked out some of the books I've wanted to from the library because of the lack of accessibility.. Now it seems I can. Thanks, Teresa On Jul 27, 2011, at 6:37 AM, Max wrote: > Thank you Jane. I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 preview and it > seems to be qui

Thank you Jane. I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 preview and it seems to be quite accessible with Voice Over. At the moment i can only read by page - but maybe i just haven't found the short cut keys for reading by line etc yet. I'm also finding that after every page i manually have to clic

Hi there. Yes I am talking a bout 1.8 Beta for Adobe Digital Editions. As for Overdrive, not talking about those. I'm talking specifically about Kobo Books--I thought that's what the person was referring to. Overdrive books are supposed to be supported now with adobe 1.8. I have yet to find

Hi Jane, Wow, this must be the 1.8 beta that is supposed to add accessibility support. According to the MacUpdate page, this was released July 20, 2011. Is this usable? The current stable version of Adobe Digital Editions (1.7.2) does not let VoiceOver read anything. The MacUpdate reviews of

I am currently using Adobe Digital Edition 1.8 to read books from Kobo on the Mac. I am also getting it to work on the iPad. It takes some fiddling, but you can read books from there with either the Mac or the iPad or other iDevice. Jane On Jul 26, 2011, at 4:36 PM, Max wrote: > Hi. Can any

Hi. Can anyone give some advice on reading e-books on the Mac? I've tried the Kindle and Kobo apps for Mac and they are both not accessible. I know that Stanza can read some DRM-free formats - but that only takes you so far. Are there any Mac solutions that are as easy to use and accessible as iBoo
