Okay, first at all, i gotta clarify that this is two sort of losely related question related with iphone nevertheless.

1. i've installed IBooks ages ago and haven't really play with it beside browsing the bookstore and so on. can i know, how accessible is the book reader? for example, if i buy a book from ibooks, will it read with VO and perform all the function like a daisy reader? or, i need another software for that matter. And, if Ibooks accessible, will it read books from other places?

I've try stanza, its great with zoom, but i'm not so certain with VO, any idea as to how it goes accissibility wise with Stanza?

2. i've updated my iphone to the latest software, (i believe is ios 4.3.2 or 4.3.3). since then, my orientation is authomaticly lock and i can't unlock it. this means i can't orientate the screen freely. is that a way for me to unlock the orientation so that the screen will turn accordingly?

thanks

to unlock the orientation go to the task manager by presssing the home key twice quickly and then using a 3 finger flick to the left or right you will come to a page that has the button to unlock the orientation.

I don't know about Zoom but with VoiceOver iBooks works well, and that means flicking to a word and double-tapping for definition, etc. I have used the app and love it. Will love it more when I can get a Braille display for my device.

IBooks works extremely well with VoiceOver. In fact, that's how I read Steve Jobs's biography.
