The problem of finding recipes in iBooks really depends on the book. A lot of
times, if nothing else, they will be links at the start of each chapter. So you
can find the recipe that way. It certainly isn't as nice as I wish it were.
Sometimes it's great. You will have an index or all the recipes will be listed
in the contents. But that is certainly not always the case. I guess that is one
reason I like to get cookbooks on book share first. If it's there, and it's
really a problem, at least I didn't pay anything for it. But I do have a lot of
them on iBooks, and for the most part if you are persistent, you can find the
recipe. The real problem comes with bookmarks. I thought it would be great to
be able to go through a book and set bookmarks on all the recipes in any given
cookbook. But unfortunately, the bookmark does not link to the title of the
recipe, only to the page number, which is useless. I wish that could be
changed. And indeed, I don't think I've tried it in the most recent update of
iBooks, so perhaps I should check that out before speaking here.

Mary,
I haven’t thought of using cookbooks on ibooks, because I’ve been nervous
about navigating and finding my ingredients and directions list. Are you able
to get a list of each page the recipe you want is on, then go to it easily?

There are certain types of books that I prefer to buy on iBooks if I can
find them on book share. I'm nothing if not cheap. Smile. Cookbooks, for
example, I like to have on iBooks. For whatever reason, I find it easier to
navigate around iBooks for a specific page etc. then I do with Kendall,
although it is doable.

Not only does Kindall have a lot more books than iBooks has, they're

Thanks for all the pointers, I’ll save this for the next time I need a
Kindle book, I’m mostly an iBooks guy but this is definitely important
for those titles iBooks doesn’t have.

First of all, keith, what specifically is not working well for you on
the audible website? You can still purchase on the audible.com website
as usual and I am having no problems doing that. If you are having
problems, be more specific and I will be glad to try to help.
Ian, here are some tips for buying a Kindle book on Amazon. I do use the
full website instead of the supposedly separate but equal accessible
one. . But usually I go specifically to the Kindle store.
1. When navigating through the website it may be helpful to turn cursor
tracking off if you keep seeing things that say "dialog" that you can't
seem to get past or get into. Sometimes this happens to me and sometimes
it doesn't. Just remember to turn cursor tracking back on after you
navigate.
2. For Kindle books, Skip all the other Amazon stuff and go directly to
the Kindle store:
http://www.amazon.com/kindlestore
You may hear other things being spoken as you type this, such as Kindle
paperwhite but this will take you to the Kindle store. After that, all
you need do is type your book or author or whatever in the search field
which should be easily found by using the forms category in the rotor.
Hit return; find your book and hit return on it. Check the price and
then just do ctrl-option-f and type click and hit return. You should be
on the link to use one-click to buy and to the right of that is a pop-up
to choose a delivery destination of you want to use that but you don't
have to do that.
It is also still possible to buy on your iPhone or iPad though you can't
do it from the Amazon app. it still can be done through safari. I
haven't done this so I don't know how accessible it is or isn't. Here is
the link:

Hth.

Got my book and read my chapter for tomorrow, thanks again. Only
frustrating thing is needing to use the less than accessible full
Amazon site to make the initial purchase.

Hi Ian,
As far as I know Kindle doesn't work on the Mac but it does work very
well on the iPhone. Just go to Amazon from your computer because you
can't purchase a book from your phones app. Then by the book and have
it synced to your device. Once it's downloaded. Go to your device and
open the Kindle app. It will automatically import to your device.
Then you just click on it, and happy reading! Each time you start
reading and relaunch the Kindle app, your book Will pick up where you
left off. Hope this helps!
