Re: iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone
Hi Esther, I tried this last night and encountered the same issue. I double-tapped the Free button and when nothing happen, I found a button that was labeled something similar to language English or something along those lines. I double-tapped that button and then was prompted for my iTUnes password. So, this appears to be some sort of accessibility issue. It took me two tries to figure it out, but I must say, very interesting. On Jun 21, 2010, at 10:22 PM, Esther wrote: Hi Blake and Joel, Try doing a double tap and hold on the button. What's happening is that the app is waiting for you to double tap the button again. On the iPad, where this all works, the button for the price or free changes into a Get Book button that you double tap again to confirm your selection/purchase. Then you are prompted to enter your iTunes password. What I had to do on my iPod Touch was locate the button where Get Book should have shown up by moving my finger up slightly from Get Sample button. Then I toggled VoiceOver off and tapped once in that location, and toggled VoiceOver back on. I was at the window where VoiceOver prompts you for you iTunes password, so I typed that in and the book downloaded. The second time, I tried a double tap and hold on the button. This might only have worked because my iTunes password was still active, though. I would report this as an accessibility issue. The books did show up in my library after I typed in the iTunes password, but I was experimenting with free books for this trial run.

iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone
Hi folks, I've noticed an undesirable happening with iBooks on my touch. Upon double tapping the button to buy a book, it doesn't seem to work and that button disappears.

RE: iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone
I do a search and click on the book I want. From there, there's a button that says free or the price of the book. That's the button I'm talking about.

Re: iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone
Hi all, I have installed the Ibooks app on my touch. I'm getting the impression that to purchase or just get free books, I have to do that from within the app; there is a 'store button. I was hoping I could shop on my Mac and synch up with the Touch, but I'm not seeing any sort of ibooks entry there except for the app itself in the Iphone section of the app store. Am I missing something obvious yet again? Or must one purchase ibooks on the device one wishes to read them on? Is there suppose to be a free book that comes along with the app? I'm not seeing anything installed. I see the bookshelf and title, author and category, which I presume are ways of sorting the material. but my list is said to be empty, which would seem to indicate the absence of a sample test book with the app. Mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
