Hi, that’s really interesting. I’m reading a technical book for a class that I am taking and I believe I have better control over the iBook app on my Mac. Once I get to a page, I interact with it using VO-Shift-down arrow and I’m able to down arrow (line-by-line) or other smaller increments. It seems that in iBooks on the phone, I need to move my finger with constant contact on the screen to move line-by-line. Flicking from left-to-right only moves me to different objects on the page and then I lose my place. I also have this manual on my New Generation Victor Stream, which I have the most control over. I found out last night that there are 5 different levels on the Stream that I can select from, besides navigating by character, word, line, sentence, etc. Go figure it.
