It really depends on your equipment. If I read in braille, I prefer to download books into my HIMS device, which has a DAISY player. I play them in DAISY but they are displayed in braille thanks to the device's translation capability. I can then take advantage of DAISY navigation To skip around

Hi. One thing that I like about iOS is the ability to receive emergency alerts. For me, however, there's a problem. When one of the alerts arrives, it's accompanied by a very loud tone, and that really startles me. It's so bad for me that I had to turn these off to avoid being scared out of my
