I don't use Ibooks.  I use voice dream reader for my mp3 audiobooks.  Now 
that the price has been reduced for the iStick USB Flash Drive with 
Lightning for iPhone and iPad, I'm thinking about getting one and using it 
to transfer content to my ios device.

Apparently this app can access books you already have synced to your phone 
and which now reside in iBooks and also Podcasts although I find there is 
not too much wrong with the native Podcast app. I used to use Downcast, but 
after I had to do a complete restore and set up my phone as a new phone when 
I downgraded from the iOS 9 Beta, I decided to try and try some of apple's 
native apps where before I used third-party apps. There are still a few 
features I like in Downcast, but on the other hand I really like how I can 
use SIRI with the native Podcast app especially when it comes to the command 
to skip or rewind. With the apple Podcast app I can say Skip 68 seconds and 
it will do exactly that so there is no need to find the correct button for a 
15 second, 30 second or 2 minute time jump and I don't even have to unlock 
my phone to skip or rewind. Very handy when trying to skip past ads/sponsor 
announcements I heard a hundred times before.


I do agree, however, that I can just as easily transfer a book to Voicedream 
Reader using iTunes file transfer than I can sync it to iBooks and 
Voicedream Reader is awesome for listening to MP3 audio books, the way you 
access skipping, rewinding, chapters and going to a particular point in the 
book is done super well.

Hello Everyone,

A list member recently mentioned to me his solution to the iOS 8.4 iBooks 
problem.


He is using an app called Bookmobile.  Bookmobile is a dedicated audio book 
and podcast player.  It is designed for the true audio book enthusiast.


According to the list member, it takes some time to get familiar with the 
somewhat unusual interface, but this solution features everything he needs:

sleep timer, playback speed, navigation controls, chapter support,
bookmarks, etc.   Moreover, it is not necessary to copy the audio books into
the app as bookmobile can access ibooks and podcast data.

While it is free for evaluation, the price for the full version is $3.99.

Search for it in the App Store or visit the developer's website at:
http://freshmowed.com/bookmobile.html


If you like it, be sure to give it a positive VoiceOver review in the App 
Store.


Enjoy,

Mark

 Hello Everyone,
 
 A list member recently mentioned to me his solution to the iOS 8.4 iBooks 
 problem.
 
 He is using an app called Bookmobile.  Bookmobile is a dedicated audio book 
 and podcast player.  It is designed for the true audio book enthusiast.
 
 According to the list member, it takes some time to get familiar with the 
 somewhat unusual interface, but this solution features everything he needs:
 sleep timer, playback speed, navigation controls, chapter support,
 bookmarks, etc.   Moreover, it is not necessary to copy the audio books into
 the app as bookmobile can access ibooks and podcast data.
 
 While it is free for evaluation, the price for the full version is $3.99.
 
 Search for it in the App Store or visit the developer's website at:
 http://freshmowed.com/bookmobile.html
 
 
 If you like it, be sure to give it a positive VoiceOver review in the App 
 Store.
 
 Enjoy,
 
 Mark

Re: A Definitely Good Audio Book Alternative

2015-07-26 Thread Johnna Simmons

Seegard,

You seem to be very knowledgeable about the iphone so I need some help.  I 
am trying to use voice dream reader, but I am having trouble getting files 
to open in voice dream reader.  I have put my user name and password for 
bookshare in there and it does not find my content.  How do I tell my iphone 
that I want to read something in voice dream reader?  Any help would be 
appreciated.

Apparently this app can access books you already have synced to your phone 
and which now reside in iBooks and also Podcasts although I find there is 
not too much wrong with the native Podcast app. I used to use Downcast, but 
after I had to do a complete restore and set up my phone as a new phone when 
I downgraded from the iOS 9 Beta, I decided to try and try some of apple's 
native apps where before I used third-party apps. There are still a few 
features I like in Downcast, but on the other hand I really like how I can 
use SIRI with the native Podcast app especially when it comes to the command 
to skip or rewind. With the apple Podcast app I can say Skip 68 seconds and 
it will do exactly that so there is no need to find the correct button for a 
15 second, 30 second or 2 minute time jump and I don't even have to unlock 
my phone to skip or rewind. Very handy when trying to skip past ads/sponsor 
announcements I heard a hundred times before.


I do agree, however, that I can just as easily transfer a book to Voicedream 
Reader using iTunes file transfer than I can sync it to iBooks and 
Voicedream Reader is awesome for listening to MP3 audio books, the way you 
access skipping, rewinding, chapters and going to a particular point in the 
book is done super well.



Regards,
Sieghard

Hello Gary,

As I received the recommendation from a fellow list member, I can only assume 
that Bookmobile is VoiceOver accessible.  However, I have not yet used this app.

As the app does allow for a free evaluation period, there is certainly no risk 
in taking it for a proverbial test-drive.

Thanks, Mark.

Do you know if VO works with the app?

Subject: A Definitely Good Audio Book Alternative

Hello Everyone,

A list member recently mentioned to me his solution to the iOS 8.4 iBooks 
problem.

He is using an app called Bookmobile.  Bookmobile is a dedicated audio book and 
podcast player.  It is designed for the true audio book enthusiast.  

According to the list member, it takes some time to get familiar with the 
somewhat unusual interface, but this solution features everything he needs:
sleep timer, playback speed, navigation controls, chapter support,
bookmarks, etc.   Moreover, it is not necessary to copy the audio books into
the app as bookmobile can access ibooks and podcast data.

While it is free for evaluation, the price for the full version is $3.99.

Search for it in the App Store or visit the developer's website at:
http://freshmowed.com/bookmobile.html


If you like it, be sure to give it a positive VoiceOver review in the App Store.

Enjoy,

Mark
