Hello Anne, Yes, I noticed that the only way to get past each age was to press the control for the next page. Maybe a hot spot? At this point they're looking for feedback from users. I'm curious, now, as to whether the OverDrive app on the iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad will handle these. You have to enter your login and password. That might only work for the library download certificates (which expire). I know for certain that Bluefire Reader, which can handle ADE DRM, is definitely not accessible, since even ePub files without DRM cannot be read with VoiceOver. (I also tried loading one of the books that I can read in Adobe Digital Editions Preview, and that didn't work either).
