Hi Andy
I bought the World Fact Book 2011, and an English Dictionary and Thesaurus,
both for 59p each. Just search for dictionaries and it should come up.
They both work with VoiceOver.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie -
Ah, I think it being an American dictionary might put me off. You said you
have aps on the Touch? Can you recommend any dictionaries/encyclopedias that
are accessible with Voice Over? -
Andy
