Hi Sandy, Oh yes. I have tons of cookbooks especially in voice dream reader, but also in iBooks, where I used to be able to count on a very nice accessible experience.

Those are the kind where the publisher of the e-book actually thought about the user who was an e-book user rather than a page flipper. Smile. Not familiar with the device you mentioned at the end of your message. Mary
