[nabs-l] problems with blio

[Sophie Trist]

Thanks. I ended up just downloading it from iTunes. But that's a 
good suggestion for the future.

Just download the book from Bookshare, and read it on your IPad, 
and
Focus 40 Blue Braille Display, if you have one.
That's what I'm going to do, when I get my IPad, and IPhone.
The displays are $26.95.
Blessings, Joshua

 Well... yeah, but that's a huge pain in the butt and I don't
 recommend it. You have to select each individual page and read
 it. For a one or two page document, that's not bad, but for a
 400-page book it would be kinda hard.

 Hi Sophie,

 Hmm... I'm not sure. Would you be able to just use VoiceOver to
 read it?

 Hi y'all,

 Recently, I got the Blio app, which is an acessible Ebook reader
 for the
 iPhone. Yeserday, I bought a book from the Blio store and
 attempted to rea
 it only to find that the text-to-speech feature was not enabled.
 I doubt
 there is any way to manually enable this feature, but if there
 is, would you
 please let me know? What troubled me about this was that nowhere
 in the
 product details did it tell me whether text-to-speech was 
enabled
 or not.
 And just out of curiosity, why would text-to-speech not be
 enabled on a
 website specifically designed for blind users?
 Yours,
 Sophie Trist
