[Blindtlk] Fwd: Accessibility announcement

[Ringlein, Ellen]

Perhaps it is a little too premature to say that "Buying, downloading and reading books and magazines using the Nook App from Barnes & Noble is fully accessible on the iPhone, iPad and iPod."  

It appears that not all features can be accessed by VoiceOver users, such as reading foot notes and making notes in the text.  Moreover, textbooks are not yet accessible either.

See the NFB's Access Technology Blog for more details.
