[gui-talk] need instructions on using the new Blio App foriPhone

Appel's iBooks can read continuously with VoiceOver; one just does a
two-finger-flick-down which reads from cursor to bottom of screen and iBooks
automatically scrolls to the next page and keeps on reading. The Blio app
doesn't apparently do this yet.

I'll keep tinkering.

Surely there ought to be a way to read continuously.  You would think so. 
Every comment I've read on the iPhone list says that continuous reading is
not possible.

If you do discover a way of doing this, please pass it along, and I'll let
the others know.

Cheers,

Marc
