Hi Jesse, VoiceOver has a set of new gestures for moving through sections, with four finger flicks. In iBooks, you should have been able to read continuously. I remember that I could also set the rotor to read line by line. There was a page control at the bottom of each page that would let you jump to an arbitrary page. You touched this, then set the rotor so you could change the value, and flicked to change the page value. I think I also did a pass-through double tap and hold, then dragged the position to do a large page jump. Sorry not to be more helpful, but I only got to play with the iPad twice for short times in the Apple Store last week.
As a suggestion, download the iPad Manual from: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPad_User_Guide.pdf and read Chapter 16 on Accessibility (pp. 105-115). I'll paste in the part about gestures. The first part about Navigate and Read has the new gestures: <begin excerpt> Here’s a summary of VoiceOver gestures: Navigate and Read • Tap: Speak item. • Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item. • Flick up or down: The effect varies depending on the Rotor Control setting. See “Using VoiceOver” on page 110. • Two-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item. • Two-finger flick up: Read all, from the top of the screen. • Two-finger flick down: Read all, from the current position. • Three-finger flick up or down: Scroll one page at a time. • Three-finger flick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home screen or Safari). • Three-finger tap: Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible). • Four-finger flick up or down: Go to the first or last element on a page. • Four-finger flick right or left: Go to the next or previous section (for example, on a webpage). Select and Activate • Double-tap: Activate selected item. • Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (“split-tapping”): Activate item. • Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture. The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the subsequent gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger to slide a switch. You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and holding your finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures are in force. They remain in effect until you lift your finger, then VoiceOver gestures resume. • Two-finger double tap: Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, Voice Memos, or Photos. Start or pause recording in Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch. • Three-finger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver. • Three-finger triple tap: Turn the display on or off. <end excerpt> HTH Cheers, Esther Jesse Bollinger wrote: >Hi all, > >I just got my iPad today.
