Thanks Rick, If one is going to read many Bookshare books, this app is pretty much not there yet if you can't skip the notice and other preliminary regions of a book. I agree, it would be nice to access more file types with Read2Go and I would like to see more Acapella voices available. Perhaps if enough people contact both Bookshare and the Voice Dream Reader author we can get something going. Given the voices choices, Voice Dream is a very appealing option, not to mention the price, but I'm not willing to listen through that notice section and all the table of contents, reviews, etc., in Bookshare books. To me, the $19.99 was well worth it for Read2Go just to easily navigate the books.

If you tap the editor button, you get a message stating that the document is too large to edit. It's a shame as this could be a really great app for reading but has some major accessibility issues that currently don't make it a great choice for a blind user IMHO. As others have already stated, the real text area where one can interact with the text with various gestures is totally invisible to VO. I do plan to contact the author and give this feedback. It's interface to BookShare is pretty nice and straight forward so I hope the app gets better. Actually, what i would really like to see is the Read2Go app simply added more supported file formats and it would be perfect. I haven't purchased it for that very reason, only BookShare books are supported and for $20 I would want more formats, at least text, PDF, and epub without DRM of course.
