Hi, vic and andrew,
Actually iBooks is accessible with VO on the mac. Each chapter has its own
html content area, and once you interact with it, you can read using a
Braille display. Unfortunately, you can't use the keyboard shortcuts to go
to the next chapter in a predictable way. Going through the menu works
well. sometimes more than one chapter appears on the screen, with various
html content areas, which you have to interact with. It's not as intuitive
as it could be, but it is doable, and I've read several books this way.
Also, iBooks aren't synced with itunes anymore. They're synced with iBooks
on the device and the computer. you can set the sync options up in iTunes,
and make sure you sync books to your device, but once you do this, you'll
have to go through iBooks on the computer. If the books are being synced,
they'll simply show up in your iBooks library screen.
Hth,
Teresa
Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season and a happy New Year!

Andrew,Unfortunately, not at this point.
As things stand, iBooks 1.0x is not accessible with VoiceOver. We are all
hoping the situation will change soon as Apple is keenly aware of the fact.
Hope this helps.

Listers,
I have a usb braille display, focus 40 which I connect to my macbook air.
It’s quite old - I bought it in 2004. I was wondering whether it would be
possible to read iBooks I purchase from iBooks store via
iTunes using this Braille display. If so, how would I go about it? I know
I can’t use it with the iPad or iPhone because it has no bluetooth. But I
wonder whether I could use it to read iBooks on my macbook
air. Also, I’ve been trying to locate my iBooks on the hard drive. I
can’t find the folder where they would have been stored. I know that music and
audiobooks are stored in the iTunes media folder but my
iBooks are not there. Any ideas?
Thanks for any tips.
Andrew
