I agree. I think their focus is more on the lysdexic rather than the blind.
I've felt that their desktop apps have become less accessible as well over

Ever since they remove the word blind from the name, their commitment to

I also wonder if the problem is with the structure of the book and other books

By the way, what is the title of the short story collection you are attempting

Hi Richard,
OK, maybe, but the question is how easy and accessible this is and if it costs
a subscription to get this functionality then the one-time purchase price of an
Apple TV might be worth it especially since it gives you also a lot more than
just the ability to mirror your iPhone.
It sounds really good to me, and $20? I got out three slates and held them
