Re: New epub Reader

I hadn't either until I read the original message mentioning it as an
EPUB reader for the mac. Earlier today I got a message saying it was
accessible so one can use it to read EPUB books on the mac like you
would do with ibooks on the iPhone.  That's all I know about it so
far.

Will this read Nook or Kindle books?

The Bookle app only reads unprotected books in the epub format. If those books 
are unprotected (non-DRM) epub formatted books then I guess it should.

Hi All,

I am replying to my own message. The Bookle app seems perfectly accessible with 
VoiceOver. It now gives us a way to read unprotected epub content on the Mac.

Hi Robert,

Bookle works OK for straight reading.  There's no ability to set bookmarks, but 
last location will be remembered.  Zack commented in the Bookle support forums 
that there were still some issues with VoiceOver cursor focus.  I haven't tried 
testing this in detail for character by character reading such as you might 
want to do if you are reading about computer command line instructions.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
