Hi David. I do not mind turning the page, it reminds me a little of old days with a braille book, it can in some ways be handy. What I miss is that e.g. ibooks shows me the next page when I press next page as kindle do, the lack for me is that the page not always refreshes, this might be a braille bug.
Kindle has solved the problem with paragraphs that we have in ibooks and a lot of other apps. Cheers Annie.
