Hi Valerie,
Sadly the latest version of iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 has caused no end of
problems for braille displays. One of those problems relates directly to
panning in the Kindle App. I'm hoping Apple will fix this with the release
of 14.4.1 but rumour has it that the next update will be 14.5 and that is
still in beta. As far as I know the braille issue hasn't been fixed with
14.5, at least not yet.

Subject: [access-uk] Problem reading Kindle Books
Hi all.
I'm desperately hoping someone can help me out here. I read Kindle books in
braille with the Apex notetaker paired with the Ipod Touch 6th generation
with no problems. However, since the recent IOS update, when I reach the
bottom of a page and pan to the next page with the Apex it jumps two pages
and if I go on panning it turns a page after every line. It's very strange
because a sighted friend has told me that it's turning pages correctly on
the screen, and when I turned the speech on it read correctly as well. It's
just that for some reason the Apex isn't in sync with the screen when it
comes to turning pages. I know there are other options for reading Kindle
books but I just love reading braille and can't stand listening to synthetic
voice reading a book. I've spoken to Humanware and they seem to think it has
something to do with the IOS update but they couldn't throw any light on why
the Apex is behaving like that. If anyone can suggest anything to fix this
I shall be eternally grateful. It's all the more frustrating because I'm in
the middle of a brilliant book and it would be nice if I could get to the
end of it.
Regards,
Valerie Pickles.
