Hi Steve and Others, I navigated the table entries by setting the web rotor to form controls. Then if you use VO-U you can move down the list to the item you want and use VO-Space or your Up+Down arrow keys to check/uncheck the box. By default the listed entries will be set to "Mountain Lion", I think. To change the listed entries to something else, set your web rotor to links, use VO-U, and choose "All Ebooks" (a really long list, though, so I don't necessarily recommend it) or arrow down past topics to "General Macintosh", "Apple's Mac Apps", "Other Mac Apps", "Airport & Wi-Fi", etc. Then activate the link to reload the new entries, navigate to the heading "Save 50% During the Take Control September Sale!", and VO-Right or Right Arrow to the table.
The other way that works for me is to use item chooser menu (VO-I), then type the first few letters of "unchecked". Navigate down to the title you want, and use VO-Space or the Up+Down arrow keys to check or uncheck the box. The issue I have when choosing a link to load up another set of books is that these navigation controls don't refresh with the new entries as being associated with the titles. If I toggle VoiceOver on and off, I can view the newly selected entries under Form Controls in the web rotor, or when I use item chooser menu and type "u n c" to find the unchecked entries, and then I can check or uncheck the boxes without any use of Mouse Keys. Gremlins seem to be swallowing up some of my posts these last two days. I originally composed a long and detailed answer to Cheryl much earlier in this thread, only to have it disappear. HTH.
