Hi there Thanks for this, it is very much appreciated. I found eBookMobi, however I am finding that it is a little tricky to navigate through the files. Other than that, the app is quite accessible.
Thanks again for your help.

I haven't tried them all though because many of them are $4.99 and up and I would rather not waste the money. I haven't heard anything from anyone else about one that works. I will look in to the mobiPocket issue and see what I can find out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paula Hobley" <[email protected]> To: "'Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2012 4:46 PM Subject: RE: Navigating a pdf in IBooks and reading mobi files > Hi there > > Thanks for looking into this for me.
