Hello Paul, The accessibility of Kobo has deteriorated in the past couple of years, but I still manage to read books with it. Make sure the Transition style is None. Once the book is open, you can read a whole chapter by doing a two-finger swipe up. You have to give it time to digest the whole c

people, nothing has been done so far. Since you need to use their format, could you also send in a complaint by going to the Kobo website: The feature they need to restore to make their app accessible again is scrolling as a page transition. Kobo books are readable on a Mac with Adobe Digital

I have not had experience with this app in a very long time. Last I knew, it was marginally, emphasis on that accessible. You had to jump through a lot of hoops, and it wasn't worth it. Are you sure you can't find this book on another more accessible form such as Kindle or iBooks or nook? Mary

Hello Tom, Kobo books are my favourite ebooks. I have no trouble at all reading them on my iPhone and I also have them on my Mac. You just have to set up the app correctly and Kobo is easy to use. It reads through a chapter at a time and you have to double tap the link at the bottom right at

Hi, This morning I rode to work with a lady who told me that Kobo books are very popular around the world, one simple reason being that when you purchase a Kobo book you actually own it instead of owning a license to read it, as you do with, say, Nook or Kindle books. I downloaded the Kobo

Hi List, Having downloaded a free book from Kobo Books to find out how the system works, I eventually found out how to open the book on my iPhone, and start reading using my Brailliant Bi32. The next stage was to purchase a book using Safari on my iPhone. Going back into Kobo I find that I

Hello everyone, At some point since October 10 when I last bought a book, the Kobo site has stopped recognising me and will not give me access to my library or allow me to buy books. I called the help line but they were unable to be of assistance since they weren't seeing what I see from here.
