Hello Greg and all: Thank you for your email.
Do you have any information about the iceberg reader? I observe that many books in the itunes store seem to be using this. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I ask because some books though stated as being available in audio form in the itunes store are now only available in iceberg reader. Thank you for any response you might send.
