Re: iBooks with the Mac and iPhone6

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hi, 

that’s really interesting. I’m reading a technical book for a class that I am 
taking and I believe I have better control over the iBook app on my Mac. Once I 
get to a page, I interact with it using VO-Shift-down arrow and I’m able to 
down arrow (line-by-line) or other smaller increments. It seems that in iBooks 
on the phone, I need to move my finger with constant contact on the screen to 
move line-by-line. Flicking from left-to-right only moves me to different 
objects on the page and then I lose my place. I also have this manual on my New 
Generation Victor Stream, which I have the most control over. I found out last 
night that there are 5 different levels  on the Stream that I can select from, 
besides navigating by character, word, line, sentence, etc. Go figure it. 

Best, 
Eileen

 Hello Folks, 
 
 I decided to take the plunge and post this topic here. With so much 
 discussion about the appropriateness of subject matter this one involves 
 both the Mac and iOS device. 
 
 I have a textbook downloaded into iBooks on both my MacBook Air 2013 and 
 my iPhone6. Is there anyway to obtain a hand off effect between the 2 
 devices? I mainly use iBooks on the Mac for better control of iBooks, but 
 I need to perform some exercises with it,so I opened the book in iBooks on 
 my phone. However, I needed to use the picker about 250 flicks to get to 
 the page I needed to view in order to have access to the directions. Is 
 there a “Go To Page” in the iPhone app so I don’t have to flick so much 
 and to increase efficiency? Is there a sync feature between the 2 versions 
 that would import the bookmarks and current page being viewed? This would 
 be terrific to have the 2 versions of iBooks communicate between each 
 other in order to expedite the process. I look forward to your responses. 
 
 Kind regards, 
 Eileen

Hi Eileen,
Back in the good old days, it used to be possible to navigate within an iBook 
page buy whatever you had your rotor set two, such as lines. Then that lovely 
setting went away. I know that I have asked Apple accessibility after every 
iBooks upgrade to get this put back. Thus far, they have not done it. I wish 
everyone who uses iBooks and who would like to be able to navigate within an 
iBook page by using the rotor would write to accessibility at apple and let 
them know that you would like this feature restored as soon as possible. It 
really was so helpful, and why they thought they needed to take it away and 
haven't put it back I have no idea.

Hi!
One thing i seem to not figure out is if there’s a table of contents i can 
interact with that and lick the wanted item but sometimes it seems not to work.
Reading is also easier on the phone to me.

Re: iBooks with the Mac and iPhone6

[Eileen Scrivani]

Hi Eileen M, 

I’ve been doing this same thing with my Mac Book & IPhone 6.  It appears to me 
that the page numbering is not in synch between the 2 devices.  I think it has 
to do with the fact that less material appears on the Iphone’s screen than what 
the Mac Book can show.  I have on the phone tried tapping on the go to page 
button, but that just seems to do weird things to the screen and the way 
reading the book behaves.

I would be interested in knowing if anyone else has a solution to this.

Re: iBooks with the Mac and iPhone6

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hello, 

Thanks for responding. I decided to Google it and came up with some results and 
ideas. So here goes: 

On the Mac, open iBooks and go to its preferences by pressing Command-comma. 
2. Select the general tab with VO-space and stop interacting with it by 
pressing VO-Shift-Up Arrow.
3. Tab a few times until you hear “Sync.” The next tab will be a checkbox. 
Press VO-space on it. this checkbox is to “Sync bookmarks, highlights, and 
collections across all devices.” That’s it for the Mac. 

iOS:
1. Open settings-iBooks and flick until you hear VO say “Sync.” This is a 
checkbox. Mine was not checked. Use VO-space to check it. 
2. Close out the settings menu. 

I opened iBooks on both the Mac and iPhone. I did find that the app on the 
phone had a link to go back to 431. I did tap on the search button. The text 
edit field accepted page numbers. The firs line of page 432 was read by VO. I 
single finger double tap on it and I was moved to that page. I hope this helps. 

Best, 
Eileen
