Bully for you Dominique, I wouldn't have the stamina, LOL!
I'd like to hear from others on the list too as to what type they would
prefer.
The writer it appears is busy enough and he did give us a few choices.
I may go for HtML but no nothing of ePub thus my query.
Thanks,
Tony

Totally Blind user
Hi Dominique,
Thanks for this.
I did see it before on another list but never thought much about it until now.
I downloaded the word version and wow there's a lot in there it's true to say!
Could anyone suggest a format to download whereby one can just click/tap on a
link to whatever paragraph you want to read as I may not wish to read it all?
I've never used ePub so what is that?
Would HTML be the way to go?
TIA,
Tony

Hello, everyone. Two years and literally thousands of changes later,
the second edition of Personal Power is now available. It's an ebook
which I wrote and am giving away freely. Basically, the book takes
people from setting up their iPhones to thriving in the iOS
environment. It teaches how to use VoiceOver, the various parts of iOS, and
a whole lot of apps.
In fact, one of my major goals with this book was to point newcomers
to a large collection of accessible apps. Many people get discouraged
when they purchase apps that don't turn out to be accessible. I hope
that this book helps their initial experience be much better than my
own was back when I got my iPhone 4.
The book is available in several formats and I hope people will help
me make it available in even more. For now, I recommend the EPUB
version. It has an interactive table of contents. That's helpful when
you're dealing with a book over 310000 words long. I've also included
the MS Word version, PDF, and a plain text version in Markdown format.
This last one has number signs or hashes before each section and
subsection. If the EPUB version doesn't work for you, this would at
least let people skip over sections which didn't interest them.
I made the mistake of uploading the first edition directly onto the site.
Given its size, this caused the Applevis staff a bit of unintended trouble.
Far be it from me to cause the same kind of chaos twice. This time,
I've put everything up on a shared Google Drive folder. I hope people
don't find it difficult to obtain whichever version of the guide they want
from there.
Feel free to post and share this with whoever you feel might benefit
from it. The more blind people who stay and thrive using iOS, the
better off we'll all be. Some people have expressed frustration with
retrieving the guide directly from the Google Drive folder. I've
therefore updated the link to point to my blog posting which contains
direct links to each of the files available. I'll try and keep that updated
as more formats become available.
The link to the guide is:
