Hi Blake and Joel,
Try doing a double tap and hold on the button. What's happening is
that the app is waiting for you to double tap the button again. On
the iPad, where this all works, the button for the price or "free"
changes into a "Get Book" button that you double tap again to confirm
your selection/purchase. Then you are prompted to enter your iTunes
password. What I had to do on my iPod Touch was locate the button
where "Get Book" should have shown up by moving my finger up slightly
from "Get Sample" button. Then I toggled VoiceOver off and tapped
once in that location, and toggled VoiceOver back on. I was at the
window where VoiceOver prompts you for you iTunes password, so I typed
that in and the book downloaded. The second time, I tried a double
tap and hold on the button. This might only have worked because my
iTunes password was still active, though. I would report this as an
accessibility issue. The books did show up in my library after I
typed in the iTunes password, but I was experimenting with free books
for this trial run.
Cheers,
Esther

I do a search and click on the book I want. From there, there's a
button that says free or the price of the book. That's the button
I'm talking about.

hang on,
when you say the button to buy a book, which one do you mean?
do you mean the button labelled "buy" when you are reading a
sample, or do you mean the one that says "get book" or whatever in
the store?
I have not tried the former.

Hi folks,
I've noticed an undesirable happening with iBooks on my touch. Upon
double tapping the button to buy a book, it doesn't seem to work and
that button disappears. When I tap and hold until the pass-through
noise is heard, I can get it to go past the book info screen.
So far, I've had one other person confirm it on her iPhone and
wonder if anyone else with iPod touches and/or iPhones wouldn't mind
trying this out. If you find the same, I reckon we should report it
to Apple
Thanks,
Blake
