Ok,
I suggest setting up your account on your computer. I think there might be a
captcha. Once you have an account set up, use your iPhone/iPod touch to
purchase your books. all you will need to do is type in your password to
complete the transaction.
When you are reading your book, Kobo displays by chapters not pages. Near the
bottom of the screen, you will find 4 unlabeled buttons, and a slider. If you
are flicking from left to right, the first unlabeled button will be "settings".
I'm not sure what the 2nd button is. The 3rd button is to move back a chapter
and the 4th, which is next to the slider, moves to the next chapter. The
slider moves you through the chapter. To move back and forth to chapters, you
need to put the slider up to 100% double tap then, double tap the previous or,
next chapter button.
