Hi Yusuf,
Can you help me over another issue here?
I am awaiting a Bluetooth keyboard for my Iphone, will that help with navigation on IBOOKS? 
Thanks Jeff

Jackie, I can help you with this and I think you'll be very happy. Firstly, if the book is purchased through the IBooks Store you'll be able to navigate through it by page, word, character etc. You can also access chapters through the page of contents. Good news is that if you already have a compatible Braille display, you can use it to read IBooks.
If I remember correctly the IBooks app isn't automatically on the IPhone, I don't know about the IPad or IPod, but its free and you can easily download it from the apps store.
All the books in the IBooks store are accessible with Voice Over, if you want you can download a sample before purchasing. 

Hopefully that will help you and Mike.
Yusuf

Hi Mike

Actually this is something I also want to know because there is a book I
need for university which only appears to be available as an E-book. If it were available for the iPod or iPhone, and I were to download it in the App store, could I read it using VoiceOver and record it onto say the Plextalk 
to allow better navigation?  Is this just a dream or can I really do it?
I haven't followed the threads about Ebooks or readers until now as I prefer 
Braille wherever I can get it.  So any suggestions gratefully appreciated
which may help those of us who need these texts in a format we can at least 
access?

Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Hello,

Does anyone know how to silence the speech on the iPhone whenever a
notification comes through; even when the phone slide switch is at muted?

Also, is there a way to keep the keypad on-screen when holding the
phone up to your ear?  It is a pain when you have to take the phone from
your ear to press keys when you are somewhere quiet and want to delete
voicemails or hang up.

Many thanks,

Mike
