Hi all,
Overdrive is accessible enough to use, but it is not the most straight
forward for VO. I think, in fact, the whole overdrive system is not
really blind user friendly, and that is with my experience from all
sort of different overdrive related apps, eiter on the destop or
mobile apps
I used Overdrive when Beta Testing for RNIB and did not like Overdrive on the
Mac or for the I Phone. I'd search for an Author and it would come up with
something else. Just hope they improve it soon.

Yes, the app is accessible. However, it is regularly necessary to explore the
screen. just flicking does not always access everything.

Where I live, many of the books are also accessible with Kindle. I've pretty
much switched to it, because audiobooks were not playable on iOS or the Mac
when I tried it, and braille was extremely unstable and made the app crash for
me. I haven't checked it out in over a year, so this may have
