I think you ought to consider letting the author know of your concerns.

Subject: Re: [Nfb-announce] Do not miss this: Make the iPad accessible for
theclassroom!
Each of us wants something different from a book, of course. this one,
directed toward teachers and parents, gives good instruction for using the
iPad with Braille and qwerty keyboards, stressing that students will need
additional devices if they want to use the iPad for tasks like writing
termpapers. it is not a tutorial with lesson by lesson presentation and
detailed exercises, although a creative person could devise her own
exercises. Often the user is told to turn off the on-screen keyboard
while performing tasks like adding to contacts, then to go to a new field
and double tap to edit text. I am curious as to why I would want to turn
off the keyboard, only to (I suppose) reactivate it immediately by double
tapping on the next text field.
I would have liked more description of the screen from a blind person's
point of view--an explanation on the music screen that there are two
active parts of the screen, not just one, and you can inadvertently shoot
yourself in the foot by crossing to another section. And is there a way
to get back to the album when the tabs at the bottom of the screen say
'album', but only songs are listed. I am probably showing my ignorance
more than anything. the author knows his material well, but his
information seems to me to be directed toward people who can see the
screen, rather than to people who can't.
