Re: iBooks Newbie Question: How to scroll? Continuous reading?

2022-10-23 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries
Thanks, Sandie. I believe I see that I can write my own notes, but
that's not the kind of notes I'm talking about. I'm talking about author
provided notes that may be explanatory, or may simply be detailed
citations to sources. In print these are usually indicated by a
superscript number at the end of the sentence to which the note applies.
Hearing these read out as though they are part of the primary narrative
text content can become highly disruptive when there are lots of them,
especially lots of the citation kind. Some texts become virtually
unreadable.

In the days of audio cassette books there weren't other options. To
still have no good options, despite our DAISY standards defining useful
behavior requirements 25 years ago is really outrageous, imo.

Best,

Janina

iBooks Newbie Question: How to scroll? Continuous reading?

2022-10-21 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries
Hi All:
In iBooks I get the opening line, but cant's seem to scroll the actual content.

It imagine there's a way to scroll, perhaps even move by word and
character. What about continuous reading--which I expect is just some
kind of timed auto scrolling? That would be the best in some situations
and I expect I'd use it a lot.

Lastly, is there any intelligence in the iBooks user agent for handling
notes? Whether footnotes, or in line notes? Sometimes I'd like to see
them. Other times, I'd like to auto-skip them; but hearing some kind of
audio sonicon to indicate one exists would be very helpful.

We scoped this kind of ebook requirement during the development of
ANSI/NISO Z39-86 back in the late 1990s. I'm still not seeing it on any
player, and that has me upset. 25 years is a long time to wait for a
feature like this that's so important in academic reading.

Thanks for any pointers.

Janina

Can't sync iBooks on iPhone 7 running iOS 14.4.x updated today with 2010 Mac mini running Sierra 10.12.6

2021-03-18 Thread Kevin Gibbs
guys,

I posted this on viPhone but thought I’d leave it here, too.  

I’m seldom here.  Have a bit of a head scratcher.  I’m trying to sync my iBooks 
library between my iPhone/iPad and my ancient 2010 Mac mini running Sierra 
10.12.6.  when I examined iBooks on my iPhone, I was told I had to update my 
Mac Mini to OS 10.12.  About this Mac says I’m running 10.12.6.  So, I figure 
I’m good.  But there are sample books on my iPhone that don’t appear on my Mac. 
 These books are potentially expensive and I would prefer to buy them once I 
know they’ll show up on all devices.  

I had initially signed in on one Apple ID and now may wish to try signing in on 
another on my Mac.  But don’t know how to sign out on my Mac to sign back in.  
Have no interest in signing all the way out of iCloud in Preferences.  That 
would suck.

If you could, please write back and copy me at kevj...@gmail.com 
<http://kevj...@gmail.com/> to make sure I see this since I almost never visit 
Mac visionaries.

Thanks,
Kevin

iBooks question

2021-01-08 Thread 'Larry Honaker' via MacVisionaries
Is there a way to copy pieces of text from a purchased book in the iBooks App?

I can understand the principle of not being able to copy the entire book; 
however, if you are studying material you are trying to learn, copying small 
sections would be most helpful.

Any thoughts out there.

Re: Anyone else having problems with iBooks under IOS14?

Hi!
I think this might be a bug as i have experienced the same.
But not in Ibooks but in settings.
I am at the beta program and it seems it will be fixed later.
But i know its not really fun.

Hi all,

Last night I was reading in iBooks, And the reading experience was horrible. I 
was thinking it might be my display, but this morning I tried reading directly 
on my iPad, and the experience was equally bad. Voiceover kept going to the 
Page Chooser. Even when I directly tapped the text area on the screen, I wasn’t 
able to read the text on the page. Voiceover was just silent. Anyone else

Epub books with ibooks app

2020-02-14 Thread hemakarah
Hi all, 

 

I downloaded a book from Bookshare. It was in Epub format. First time, I could 
access the book flawlessly using the Ibook app on the Mac. Second time, it 
could read just the cover page. It was just saying bullet, bullet, and the 
like. No idea why this happened. Kindly guide me. Kurzweil 3000 looks very 
accessible when it comes to bookshare. But the software is damn expensive for 
me.

 

Take care,

Hem.

RE: How to set a bookmark in ibooks for iOS

2019-11-24 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Hi Petrus & kevin,

In apples Books app in IOS I’ve never had to worry about setting a book mark as 
when I stop or pause the book that is the book mark or point it’s set to.

If you wanted to mark a point of the book to come back to at a later point then 
the Books app is not going to work for you from what I’ve found.

You’d need to be able to set a mark point that you could call up even after 
reading on.

As for e- books the book mark option in books is the tab directly after the 
search tab in the app.
>From the left hand of the books app.

>From the right hand tab it’s approx. 4 tabs back to the left.
In the books I’m reading it goes.

Library tab,
Table of contents tab,
Appearance tab,
Search tab,
Then the book marks tab,
Then the start of the actual book

Hope that helps.

Hi Kevin,
Did you work it out yet? I’m guessing you’re talking about audio books, or 
ebooks? I had a look in the books app in the book I’m listening to at the 
moment and couldn’t find anything to do with bookmarks either. I’m thinking of 
writing to apple support to see if they can help. Should I write to the General

Re: iBooks

2019-06-10 Thread Michael Busboom
Hello.

I, too, use the Books app on my iPhone XR and am very satisfied.  The only 
really frustrating issue for me (or it was frustrating when I last encountered 
it about a year ago) is that it is very difficult, though possible, to use the 
app when the screen is locked.  With Voice Dream Reader, you can lock the 
screen and the book keeps being read aloud.  However, when I tried locking the 
screen while the reading of an iBook was in progress, reading stopped.  I 
couldn’t make this work with the Books app, even though I had turned „Speak 
screen“ on.

Best regards and happy reading!

Mike

Hi Ben,

Books on the iPhone works very very well.

I use it on my iPhone and iPods all the time.

I’ve not had any issues with it at all.

Re: Best ebook reader app and question about ibooks.

2018-04-15 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Leo,

I know of no way to get iBooks to read continuously on the Mac. I rarely use 
iBooks as I find it cumbersome and I buy my ebooks elsewhere.
I use Adobe Digital Editions to read ebooks on my Mac, but you still have to 
press Right Arrow to turn the page. you can reduce the frequency of this by 
making the font as small as possible.
Adobe Digital Editions is easy to use and allows you to read a number of 
protected formats. I mostly read books from Kobo and usually on my iPhone.
You can copy text from Adobe Digital Editions a page at a time by using the VO 
command Copy last spoken phrase to the clipboard (VO-Shift-c).
Cheers,

Anne

I'm so sorry for causing you extra work, Tim.  You are always so helpful to the 
list.  If it helps, I saved your instructions in case I ever have this problem 
again.  It's one of those things that I just don't have to do very often, so 
when it comes up, I have to re-teach myself how to do it.  So, odds are good 
that I'll be referring to those instructions at some time in the future. :) 
Cheers,

Re: Deleting books in iBooks that you have purchased

2018-01-29 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

The "Hide a Book" item should be an expandable element.  That is, pressing on 
it should expand and give you the instructions.  Sierra shouldn't make any 
difference.  Basically, do the following:

1.  Open iBooks.
2.  Up to the Store menu.
3.  Down to View my Account.
4.  Enter your Apple ID password
5.  Press on the Features tab.
6.  Use the Item Chooser to find the Purchased link.

In this area, you should be able to find the book or books that you wish to 
hide.

7.  Interact with the book title.
8.  Navigate to hear "Hide" and something else that I can't recall.
9.  Interact with the "hide" area and press the Hide button.

HTH.

Later...

It shows you how to hide/unhide books in your iBooks library.  Note that this 
will hide the book on all your devices.  It's slightly different with VO, but, 
for the most part, just interact with the title when you find it in the 
Purchased list, then interact more until you can press the "Hide" button.  A 
confirmation dialog will appear after you've hit the hide so that you'll know 
it worked.

RE: Is There No Way to Hide Purchased iBooks in iOS 10 or Later?

2017-10-10 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi List,

 Just a slight change on this iBooks  request,

Has anyone else noticed that iBooks closes under IOS11 when it either goes to 
sleep or you stop a book playing 

On the older IOS versions prior to 11, it was a case of iBooks staying open 
when a book was paused or stopped  by using sleep.

Just wondered if anyone else has noticed this behaviour

I have done this once so let me try to explain it.  YOu go into select mode, 
once you have selected the books you want to hide, all the way to the end there 
is an option that says hide, this should be right after delete or create a

Hello Cliff and thank you for replying.

Have you actually hidden any book titles in iBook 4.12 (iOS 10) or iBook 4.13 
(iOS 11)?  

Try as I may, I cannot locate any option to hide a title.

If you could provide a step-by-step walkthrough, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Is There No Way to Hide Purchased iBooks in iOS 10 or Later?

2017-10-08 Thread M. Taylor
Hello All,

In iOS 9, one could easily hide purchased iBooks from within the iOS iBook
app.  

Try as I may, I can not discover how this is done in iOS 10, if, in fact, it
can be done at all.

My Google searches result in articles written for the iOS 9 iBook app.

Do any of you know how to hide purchased iBooks in iOS 10 or 11?

All responses greatly appreciated.

Mark

reading epub books in ibooks

2016-12-04 Thread jean parker
Hello Michael and All:

I have had similar experiences to Michael with Ibooks. Reading a book is fine 
and there is a way to navigate to the various pages in the document. I found 
however, that Ibooks doesn’t keep my place in the book. So I exported the files 
to text and have been reading them in Itext Express, I suppose Text Edit would 
also work for this purpose. Of course you lose the exact page numbering this 
way so if you needed a citation you would have to open the original in Ibooks 
to find it. 

If others have helpful experiences to share about this I would like to hear 
them.

iBooks

2016-08-08 Thread Saqib Hussain
Hi. My iBooks aren’t syncing with my iPhone. I have the iBooks app on the Mac 
set to sync with other devices but my books are totally out of sync. Is there a 
bug with the Mac version of iBooks?

requesting assistance using iBooks on the mac with VO

2016-08-03 Thread Michael Marshall
hey all,
for the first time i thought i would take a look at iBooks on the mac but i'm 
running into some complications.
i can get to pages, mine is showing two pages at the moment.
how do you get VO to read continuously?
i really do not want to have to get up and find the button to turn the page all 
the time.
Should I be interacting with the pages before i start reading with the VO A key?
sadly there does not seem to be a hot key to change page.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Getting a setting to stick in iBooks

2016-05-06 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Mary,

Yes I see what you mean, it's odd, I tried the same thing and it keeps kicking 
you out of the title etc tab, back to book shelf.

I really need to edit my books so the meta data keeps it all together.

Subject: Re: Getting a setting to stick in iBooks

I don't think bookshelf is an overall setting. It is part of a group of four 
buttons apparently, based on what voiceover tells me. And if you're in a 
category, such as cookbooks, or novels, and you sent to titles, then you close 
the app and come back you're back to bookshelf again. There's no way it seems 
to have titles set as your default listing view if you can call it that. Also, 
if you select titles, bookshelf then becomes unselected, another indicator that 
it is part of a group, and not a standalone setting that supersedes other 
things no matter what.

Hi Mary and Mark, 

Michelle Stevens here, 

Have you tried not taking IBooks from your app switcher? If you leave it there 
you will keep your settings. When you close iBooks you will have to reset. 

Not sure if this helps? 

Kind wishes 
Michelle Stevens.

RE: Getting a setting to stick in iBooks

Hi Mary & Mark,

 I've not yet looked at this as my iBooks is a mess 

However what I wonder is if the "book Shelf" setting is an overall setting as 
books sit in a book shelf,

 And then with in that they are possibly sorted by 
Title,
Authur or  Catagories. The forth option.
I've just tried this and Yeah Mary I see what you mean.

 It kind of looks like  when your wanting to find a book it will sort by those 
3 options,but otherwise it is just the bookshelf where you view everything you 
have.

Hello Mary,

Well, I can confirm your findings.  However I am not certain this is a bug; 
although you should definitely report this to Apple if you think it should be 
addressed.

To others who may also be interested in experimenting with this, it should be 
made clear that in order to see the Titles button, one must first set the 
display view to List, as opposed to Grid view.  I was unaware of the Titles 
button as I use the grid view in order to browse through my titles.

CNBC news is announcing that the Chinese government is blocking access to

promote it’s own service.  This could have a huge impact on potential growth

RE: Ibooks on Ipad mini and braille.

2016-04-09 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Michelle, et al, 

You can set iOS 9.x to automatically turn pages as you pan the Braille display. 
 To do this:

1.
>From the Settings menu, select General.

2.
Select Accessibility.

3.
Select VoiceOver.

4.
Select Braille.

5.
Set the "Turn Pages When Panning" option to "ON".

Now, as you pan, the page will turn, automatically.

I have not explored OS X to see if such an option exist.  For the most part, I 
only read iBooks, via Braille, in iOS.

Mark

Not sure if my advise is any good for answering your question?  

On the IPhone I use Braille display with iBooks all the time.  

To change pages I use the right rocker button on my focus 14.  To go top of 
page I use space bar and dots 123 and arrow until I get to the text. If you are 
a quick Braille reader I sometimes use second and third fingers swipe down

Re: Ibooks on Ipad mini and braille.

2016-04-08 Thread Michelle's Home Emails
Hi Anders, 

Michelle Stevens here, 

Not sure if my advise is any good for answering your question?  

On the IPhone I use Braille display with iBooks all the time.  

To change pages I use the right rocker button on my focus 14.  To go top of 
page 
I use space bar and dots 123 and arrow until I get to the text. If you are a 
quick Braille reader I sometimes use second and third fingers swipe down screen 
to read pages continuously without stoping.  It is easy to loose your spot 
because VO is reading quickly. 

Good luck 

Michelle

Its very frustrating to have to choke around and select next page and then go

RE: something weird with ibooks on ios 9.3

2016-03-23 Thread M. Taylor
Okay, Because this may effect others, I am going to cross post this.

After reading this thread, I discovered that there appears to be a bug in
iBooks iOS 9.3.

When the Purchases Tab is activated, in iBooks, the display changes to a
list view as follows:

Updates, Books, then Audio Books.

If one selects one of these items, for example Audio Books, a secondary list
view describing categories such as All Books, Recent Purchases, Business,
Fiction, etc is displayed.  

It is this secondary list that is currently inaccessible via VoiceOver.
However, if one disables VoiceOver, then selects one of these secondary list
items, then re-enables VoiceOver, the resulting lists of titles is VoiceOver
accessible.

So, please join me in reporting this bug to Apple.

I hope this helps.

Mark

Re: ibooks storage?

2016-03-19 Thread Anne Robertson
I don’t like iBooks and rarely buy them. I prefer to buy from Kobo. The Kobo 
app works fine on my iPhone, less well on an iPad, and on the Mac, Adobe 
Digital Editions reads Kobo books. Adobe Digital Editions puts a folder in the 
Documents folder and the files have meaningful names. Also, Kobo books are 
usually cheaper than iBooks.
I prefer Kobo to Kindle since I can’t read Kindle books on my Mac.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: ibooks storage?

Thanks to the new iBooks storage location, it’s now very hard to back up your 
stuff.  In prior days, Books was just a folder in your iTunes media folder, 
which could be anywhere on your drive or on another file system altogether.  My 
advice is to keep a separate Books folder somewhere with all the PDFs and 
third-party ePub books you bought.  You can then add those back to iBooks.  
Download the rest of it from within iBooks itself.  And of course the one 
sanctioned approach to backing up iBooks, one by one, requires drag and drop, 
can’t be done from the keyboard, and doesn’t work at all with VoiceOver.

I wish Apple weren’t so damned determined to promote their own walled garden at 
the expense of everything and everyone else any time they come out with their 
latest new tat. It’s hateful. iBooks for Mac just makes me want to go back to 
Windows sometimes, because it’s not at all clear to me what the value 
proposition is for Mac users. This was clearly another product of the 
iOSification of OS X.

Re: iBooks issue

2016-03-10 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Gary,

VO-s and VO-p both work for me, as do the commands for next sentence and next 
paragraph. One thing I just checked, my mouse pointer is sitting on my desktop, 
so have you got your mouse pointer following your VO Cursor and keyboard focus? 
If so, try setting the mouse pointer to ignore the other cursors. I always have 
this setting as I find that the mouse can destabilise VoiceOver.

Cheers,

Anne

Hi Anne,

I don't use Quicknav, so I wouldn't have figured that out.  I have had the same 
experience you write about when clicking on a book title.  I have been able to 
move around by pages, but not in a way that is consistent.

Re: iBooks issue

2016-03-10 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Donna,

Like you, I can read with iBooks on my Mac with no trouble. However, a couple 
of things worth noting:
Having pressed VO-Space on a book title, I often have to turn VoiceOver off and 
back on again to be able to navigate;
The text area is to the right of the Previous Page button and it always goes 
busy for a short while before I can interact with it and read the book;
Quick Nav does not work in iBooks.

I can read by character, word, line, sentence or paragraph, but not by page. 
Read All works fine.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: iBooks issue

2016-03-10 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi all,

I haven't followed this thread from the beginning, but I'm surprised.  I agree 
that the IOS app is much better, but on my Mac iBooks works reasonably well.  
At least mostly.  The interface is kind of clunky, and I get more busy messages 
than I would like, but I have no problem reading book content.  I can read 
either by line, or just use VO-A to read continuously.  Odd that my experience 
would be different from that of so many of you.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: iBooks issue

2016-03-10 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
Gary,

I tried, just as you, to use IBooks on the mac a while back, as I was told it 
worked really well.  There is a possibility that in Yosemite, it did.  I 
confess that I never tried it prior to El Capitan.  I found almost identically 
the same results as you.  I could read a majority of the interface of the app, 
but the book content itself, regardless the book loaded, wouldn't read hardly 
at all.

I should add that this isn't the case on I O S.  On I O S, it works 
beautifully.  I did report this to Apple, but I never really followed up with 
them about it, as reading IBooks from the mac isn't really something I'd 
normally wish to do.  I'd prefer to just use my phone, or IPad and do it.  That 
however said, I definitely can confirm that I am  able to reproduce your issues.

Chris.

now.
  When I opened iBooks, I went to the book shelf table with my list of books 
and interacted with it.  I didn’t see another window/table with the contents, 
so I double-click on my book, to open it.  A window opened, but VO only dinged

Re: iBooks issue

2016-03-09 Thread Blee Blat
Yup. Same here. Works lovely in iOS but OS X iBooks is a useless waste of disk 
space. Someone said it could be internet issues but that's not the case here 
since speed test shows I'm actually getting slightly more throughput than 
advertised by the ISP. So I think they've just broken something.

Re: iBooks still unusable after clean install

2016-02-07 Thread David Griffith
On Windows I use QRead and as far as I can tell preserves structure fine 
for the purposes I have used it for.
Control H will bring up a navigable list of headings in any book or 
magazine and this is my main method of navigation.


I will put it on my VM Ware Fusion image of Win 7 as a mac alternatibve 
to iBooks for now.
I used to use Stanza on the Mac.  Unfortunately Stanza does not seem to 
support  modern epub file on the Mac any more though it stills handles 
mobi files OK as long as you install the legacy Java stuff when prompted.
This is a work around for the RNIB Talking Newspaper service as stuff is 
available as mobi as well as epub from that library.

 From what you’re saying, though, it sounds like your investments of time are 
best elsewhere.  To be honest, I rarely use iBooks for OS X for reading at all. 
 You only need it to set up your book library for iTunes to sync to your 
iDevices.  If I could opt out of that, and have my books back in my media 
folder (which is not on my boot device) you can be sure that I would.

What, out of interest, do you use for ePub on Windows?  Anything that preserves 
structure?

Re: iBooks still unusable after clean install

2016-02-06 Thread David Griffith
Yes this is what is happening with me but based on this feedback I may 
have to do an ultra clean install.


The problem may be that after the install I migrated my apps and 
settings across to the new install from Time  machine as it is a real 
pain retrieving and entering all the non app store app licenses.
 Also my printer driver setup requires me to pay for sighted help as 
well.  As everything else is working as expected so far I might have to 
consider whether iBooks is really worth having to dlete all my settings 
accounts and so on to set everything up from scratch.


 I may just rely on Windows for ePub.

and even continuous read, and it will plough through the book, overcoming any 
navigational boundary.

Is this really not what you have? Damn. :(

Yes, clean installs are best done clean.  It’s a pain, but it’s always worth 
doing the clean part.  There will be corrupt preferences and long-dead traces 
of previous crashes or other problems that would be swept up by simply cloning 
the Library folders.

What, out of interest, do you use for ePub on Windows?  Anything that preserves 
structure?
