This functionality only works during the AppleTV setup phase. During setup, it will say, "Triple-click Play button to activate VoiceOver". Once the AppleTV is setup, this functionality is no longer available.
That was straight from www.lioncourt.com, but it doesn’t say where he got that clarification.

Make sure that your Apple TV software is up to date and then it should work. Scott On Nov 8, 2011, at 12:03 PM, Goldfinga Productions wrote: That only works on initial setup, right?

Some of the books in the iBooks Store, such as the iPhone User Guide and other free books, are available without DRM, and can be read. Also, the books from Project Gutenberg that are in the public domain have no DRM, and can be read. However, most commercial eBooks that you buy through iBooks cannot be read with Adobe Digital Editions Preview. Stanza Desktop (with Mac and Windows versions from Lexcycle), was actually a utility program designed to assist in converting ebook formats and transferring them to the Stanza eReader app on your iOS device -- it was not designed primarily to be used as a reader. At one point it was viewed as the major competitor to the Amazon Kindle, especially in markets outside of the United States. Then Amazon bought out Lexcycle. That's one reason why there are no new developments. I was surprised when they released Stanza 3.0 in June 2010 after the acquisition. It is actually possible to use Stanza with VoiceOver on iOS devices, but most people find it disconcerting, because the application reads to the end of each chapter, but doesn't update the screen. However, it is usable, and supported bookmarking and search functions before iBooks had these features. With improved features and iBook accessibility, the iBook app is a better bet for VoiceOver users now. HTH.

On Nov 6, 2011, at 5:04 PM, Esther wrote: Hello Nektarios, As Anne mentioned, you can avoid the VoiceOver crashes by just navigating to the next page instead of interacting (Fn+Down Arrow to page down on my MacBook Pro), which will also get you past the cover graphic. You do have to read by page, but you can just press the right arrow key to do this for successive pages, and you can make the font size small if you want more content on a single page. Adobe Digital Editions Preview supports searching in the text and setting bookmarks. It will work for reading DRM-free eBooks, or books that have the Adobe ADE version of DRM, which includes books you can buy from Kobo Books and OverDrive ePub books that can be borrowed by download through public libraries in the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K. and some other countries. An alternate suggestion for reading ePub books without DRM, if you don't want to use the Copy Last Spoken Phrase to Clipboard (VO-Shift-C) and paste into TextEdit, is to use iText Express. The Express version of iText is free, and available from the Mac's App Store. HTH.

The good thing is that you don't have to listen to the whole page before doing this. Cheers, Anne On 6 Nov 2011, at 14:16, Nektarios Mallas wrote: Hello Anne.
