Hello, Find the link with your braille display and press one of the router buttons under it to get VO highlighted on it. Perform the double-tap and hold gesture on the display. Double-tap and hold activates the pass through gesture on whatever VO is highlighted on. Pass through gesture cannot currently be performed on the braille display. Note: I have not done this in iBooks. I have done this in other apps, so it should work, though not guaranteed.
