Hi Mike Just wondering whether you have noticed this weird issue with braille from some ibooks not displaying correctly. Whenever there is an open double quotation nmark followed by a word, the whole string displays as weird characters which are incorrect. It doesn't happen with closing quotation marks which is odd. I've reported this to Apple but wonder if you or others have seen this issue. It doesn't happen in all iBooks. It makes reading many books impossible, especially if there is a lot of dialogue. Just wondering if others have seen this and reported it to Apple.
