Hi, As far as i know, Kindel and iBooks both does not anounnce page turn when you turn from page to page. I also found that it is easier to navigate page turn on iBooks, if you wish to do it manually compare to Kindel. In order to navigate page turn, or to a specific page on Kindel, if you are a voiceover user, you need to double tap to bring out the menu, and 'go to button', which is where you have the choice of table of contents, begining book, end of book, etc. What i found anoying with Kindel is it gives you the percentage of the book by default rather than the page by default. This means, is harder for One to go back in the future for reference purposes or such. As far as downloading other books are concern, you can simply download your third party books thru your email. When you got a 'dot mobi' file on your attachment, it will promp you as to which program you want to open with. choose Kindel, and the book will transfer to your kindel, under device rather than cloud library.
