So, if I can only find the book on Kindle, I buy it there. But if I have a choice, I always buy on Apple Books.

In other words, when searching for books, did you find the same titles in both stores?

So, there are no paragraphs or headings or anything, everything just displays like one big long string of text. That drives me crazy! Apple iBooks has made lots of money off me, just because the reading experience in braille is so much better.

Kindle is a great source for books, and I really wish they could be read on the Mac with VoiceOver.

Also, as a person who works in a job that significantly involves writing scholarship for publication, I've never needed Kindle. Others may be in a different position; I'm simply noting that, for academic purposes, there are usually other sources. As for OCR, ABBYY FineReader for Mac should be investigated. Is it possible to use Learning Ally materials on an iPhone? On iPhone or Mac, yes, as far as I can recall. What about unzipping Bookshare books or transferring NLS materials to a Victor Reader Stream? Yes to the former. I don't have a Victor Reader Stream, so can't comment. If it presents as a USB mass storage device, it's simply a matter of copying files. What about reading PDF files? Yes - Preview, Adobe Reader for Mac, or the PDF reader in Google Chrome - take your choice. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
