[nabs-l] Accessibility announcement

[Jane]

I have the Nook app on my iPod.

when they say that application is accessible, they mean it.

You have to go to the Barns and Noble web site to create an account first--they on't allow you to do that from within the app--but once you do you can sign in, hit the Sync button, and get 4 free books.

You are also given a nice tutorial that explains about the VoiceOver gestures that can be used to read books with the Nook application, It's ver similar to iBooks--just about identical.

They seem to have taken a lot of time to make this app really truly work with VoiceOver. Now, if Amazon would do likewise ... and that includes not blocking books being read by VoiceOver ...
