So what is the advantage of the Kindle book reading app over ibooks. I haven't really played with either one. On iBooks I was able to read continuously page by page and I could touch to read a line but I couldn't figure out how to read the previous or next line. The rotor let me choose to flick through characters and headings but not lines. If it was reading continuously it would flip pages automatically but I could only manually turn the page by going to the page chooser and then flicking up and down. Probably just some gestures I don't know about. I thought a three finger flick left/right would turn the page like moving between pages of apps in the main screens.

No, you will have to go to the Amazon website to find books, but once 
you make a purchase that title should show up on your iPhone.

Wow  guys, this is cool.

Question, can you actually search for books and stuff?  I couldn't 
find an

option to do that.

Haha. Hi,


I'm trying it out right now.  I don't think you will be 
disappointed with

the accessibility.  I'm able to read by line/ word/ character, and
continuous reading with a 2 finger flick down seems to work just fine.

Actually, when you first open the book, it tells you the voiceover 
gestures

you can use to read.  including highlighting and selecting text, etc.

a joke.  Is this really true, or am I dreaming? Has anyone tried it 
out yet
-- determined whether the navigation is as spectacular as iBooks and 
the

Nook app?
