Hi all, What apps, besides Ibooks and Kindle are accessible to us? Is the kindle app accessible?
Matthew
Audible works. Bookshare will have an app soon. It's been hung up in the approval process for about a month. Don't know about kindle. Haven't seen anyone talking about it so I had assumed it wasn't accessible but haven't tried it myself. RFB&D (or whatever they call themselves now) has an app for their materials too. There are probably more, but that's all I know about.
Thanks so much for all the apps, I'l check them out.
The best for generic filetypes I know of is one called ILike2Read. supports TXT, RTF, some others. I believe it's free, but if it's not it doesn't cost much, and seems to work well.
Kindle is not yet accessible.
i am waiting with baited breath for the bookshare app. i am not renewing my membership till that comes out, just cuz there's no point in having the membership when you can't deownload the books onto something you can read them on.
grr. can't wait for the read to go app to come out. it's gona be 20 dollars, but it'll be well worth it.
Thanks for the info about the Kindle app. I got really confused since it just had a home button, when I tried to download a book, and when I double tapped it, it did not do anything. I've deleted the app already, but thanks for the info. Do you know of any apps for reading books from the amazing openlibrary.org? It has a lot of e-books, and most of them are encrypted daisy, so you will need a bard account and password to read them.
