Hmm, When I interact with the page, voiceover crashes.

I've managed to download some books from Kobo and i'm reading them with Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 preview. Just to put it very clearly - you need to interact with the page, then make sure that quicknav is off, and then you can page back and forward with left and right. It works pretty well - although more control and the option for continuous reading is certainly missed. I think it is worth engaging with Adobe on sorting out these final niggles in what is a much-improved app for the Mac. I'd also encourage people to write to apple to request iBooks for the Mac. The access potential is so huge - and it is really silly that it should be held up by small technicalities at this point. Jane wrote: > I just use the arrow keys for previous and next page.
