Hi Michael, First, thanks for taking the time to troubleshoot this for me. I just went back into iBooks to the purchased tab. The book is not listed under the "not on this phone" tab. However, it does show up under the "all" tab with the download button dimmed. I did try a double tap and hold to see if I could pass through whatever is hanging this up. No such luck. All I seem to get in the "not on this iPho" interface is instructions to use the rotor for headings, notes, and links. When I open the "my books" tab, I do have the action rotor features and there's a delete button at on the top row under the status line.. The only thing left for me to do later on when I can find a small window is to call Apple Accessibility to see if they can unraghel this.
Again, thanks for your help. Kind regards, Eileen Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 7, 2015, at 5:54 AM, Michael Feir <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello Eileen.
