Hello Esther,

I'm using Lion, and I just got this app today so haven't done much with it. 
I've started reading a book from Kobo and it's stopped crashing now that I'm 
into the book. I find that navigating around the screen causes VO to crash more 
than usual.

I've also hit a snag with Kobo books. It won't let me download the ones my 
husband has already downloaded to his computer. I need to investigate this one 
further.

Something that will put quite a few people off this way of reading is the fact 
that you have to click a button to turn a page. I'll set a shortcut for this, 
but it still won't read continuously.

Cheers,

Anne
