Hello.
I do not have a stream, but have converted quite a few books from
mobi to epub using ebook-convert and read those books in iBooks. I have
found that the author and title fields are maintained, at least for iBooks.
It may well be that they were malformed on the Mobi, that the Stream doesn't
read them properly, or that ebook-convert is doing something strange and out
of standard which is effecting the title/author fields for the stream. All I
can say is that iBooks seems to have no issue with these fields.
HTH.

When you do this conversion, does it transfer the book title and author?
I've run across some epub books that have been converted this way. On my
stream it won't speak the book title or author when I move across the
bookshelf.

Hi.
Though I agree that Calibre is an excellent book manager, its GUI is not
accessible to any screen reader. However, it can be used to convert books
from mobi to epub through the command line, which is accessible. See
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html
for instructions. I have a Pithon script which, when a mobi file is clicked,
will convert the file to Epub and put it in a temporary directory. If anyone
wants this, let me know.

I don't have any plans to support mobi at the moment. You can use
Calibre to manage and convert all your eBook file formats. Calibre is
free and a good piece of software.

I'm going to do this (speaking and spelling the selected word) in the

Are you also going to make it possible for VoiceOver users to know
what the text is that we are touching? That would help for the

Thanks,

It is possible to set a bookmark with VO on, but it's a little clunky
right now. You need to press the text area and hold for a second. And
then you'll have the option to Define, Bookmark and Highlight. A
bookmark is always set at the beginning of the paragraph you'll on. A
highlight is set on the sentence. So even it is imprecise because
you'll see the exact Word you're pressing, in the end it'll be close
enough. Once you set a bookmark, you can go back to it using the
Bookmark menu, which lets you navigate to a autogenerated chapter,
bookmark, or highlight.
I'm going to add a "Bookmark" button in the next release so you can
set a Bookmark at the speech cursor without having to invoke the
context menu by long press.

Thanks Winston, I figured you had gotten it but were busy with other
things so it's cool. Glad to know that a lot of folks are using it, I
have found the bookmarks chapter marks and such very usable for
navigation and have used this since I have gotten it more than read2go
because it does recognize more formats, and has more voices with
everything. Keep up the great work and I hope to see some great things
from you guys in the future. I noticec the textbox and that is handy.
The only thing is, how does one set bookmarks in a particular book, or
is it possible with voiceover yet. I can get to all the bookmarks that
are automatically generated but didn't know if I could set my own. I
haven't explored the chapter marks yet and was wondering if that is a
separate setting or how that works, but I use a lot of the
automatically generated bookmarks to navigate with now which is nice.
Anyway, thanks again for getting back to me, and keep up the great work.
I'm
recommending it to not only blind and visually impaired patrons of
mine since I work for the Library for the Blind here in Alabama, but I
am also recommending it to students with learning disabilities that
are on bookshare and even if they're not to use the app because of all
it does provide for the price especially. I'm hooked and hope to see
more great updates and features as you can. Thanks for a great product
and keep up the great work.
Take care and talk to you soon.

Hi,
Yes I did get your email. I'm thinking through text navigation of the
text
area right now. I don't want to rush to a solution yet. I can't just
turn on VO support because I built the text box myself in order to
handle very large text.
Quite a few blind users are using my app happily now, using a
combination
of chapter marks, bookmarks, text search, and manual scrolling.
Best,
Winston.

Dear Friends,
I have purchased a few voices in the app but it asks me to use ViFi
which I don't have. I can connect my Iphone 4S to my laptop and
connect to the internet. Using Itunes can I download these voices?
If so how? Please do let me know.
Thank you.
Ketan
