Is there any way to moderate the sensitivity to affect turning the pages in the iBook. I swear my finger has not touched the screen and as many as 15 pages turn before I get the deal stopped?
View 4 RepliesI find iBooks very useful for storing not only my books but also my PDF files containing recipes, knitting patterns, etc. Only problem is that when I have finished reading a page, the toolbar at the top has disappeared and, even if I tap that area, my Collections option does not always appear.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to view an iBook on the iPad as a single page in landscape mode? On the kindle app you can view the text as in either a one page or two page view.

I know a few of you were interested in this. Here's how to do it (according to lioncourt.com, who are self proclaimed experts in Apple accessibility).
1. Turn VoiceOver on. Unless you're using it all the time, I suggest going to the settings pane and choose Accessibility, VoiceOver then check 'triple click of home to turn VoiceOver on or off' or whatever the option is. Can't check right now as I am using my iPhone to post this and if I come out of Safari this text will disappear.
2. Open iBooks and the book you want. Triple click the home button to tum VoiceOver on. It will say 'VoiceOver on'.
3. Place two fingers on the screen. Make sure they're fingers held next to each other. Flick those fingers downwards in a smooth quick motion. You may have to practice to get it right.
4. VoiceOver will begin to read the page from the top, and when it gets to the bottom, it will turn the page for you and carry on speaking the next page. And so on. To stop it just tap on the screen anywhere with one finger (VoiceOver will most likely read whatever is under your finger, then stop. )
5. Unless you want to carry on using VoiceOver gsetures for everything else you do with your ipad, remember to triple click to turn it off again when done.
Caveats to this are that I do not have an ipad to test this because I'm a forgotten UK apple fan, I'm just relaying what lioncourt.com has said. Usually they get it right with regards to VoiceOver but not always.
Here's someone else's youtube demo for those who can see (no narration to describe how to do it, just a video of someone doing it) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5kLiRxuuq0
In the iBooks app, it would be great if we had an option to disable page turns by tapping in the margins, meaning only allowing page turns by the right- or left-ward swipe gesture. Page turns by swipe are a lot more intuitive to me, equally easy, and tapping margins often interferes with text selection for highlightingwith that for the ol' iBook hardware)? If so, I haven't managed to locate it.

I would like to suggest a few minor changes to make this site more IPad friendly. First when a thread has multiple pages, I always have to zoom in to switch to the next page, the page numberings could be bigger for finger tapping or replace the last page button with a next page. The second issue I constantly have is tapping on a thread, I find myself often tapping on the OP name just below, a little more spacing would help or move the OP name beside the thread name. Just my 2 cents. Great site BTW.

View 2 RepliesSiri works on the iPhone because the user always has Internet connectivity. Data plans are mandatory and can't be added or removed. I can't even recall the last time my iPhone didn't have data reception through either 3G or wifi.
On the iPad however, the majority of users buy wifi only tablets, others buy the 3G, but then don't keep their accounts consistently active. Siri would only work over wifi in these instances. When Siri only works at home, it kind of breaks the illusion of being a personal assistant.
Is anyone insanely excited for siri on iPad 3rd gen? I know I am. And is anyone using it yet (dev account)? If yes, first impressions?
