Support for books with images via download and rendering in Read2Go

When reading visually it's much more physical effort to scroll and more mental effort to make sure you don't scroll too far, etc. The tap-for-next-page-of-text style of navigation that most ebook apps use is useful here.

Clarification: I think both options should be available, depending on the user's wishes.

If I point to links to zipped, DRM-free Daisy files in my O'Reilly eBooks account in Safari, and activate the links, I'm offered the option to "Open in" apps like Filer (file transfer app). However, other apps that support usage like editing text files can support the "Open in" option for zip files. I would like Read2Go to be able to support importing from direct links to zipped Daisy files in the Safari browser, so that the "Open in" dialog appears with "Read2Go" as one of the options.

It would be very useful if you built in a touch dictionary allowing the user to touch a word and have the definition pop up. All ages would benefit from this- especially students!

Make buttons larger or add scanning features

I'd also like to be able to adapt the line spacing independently of the font size, eg at 48px landscape mode I can only see about 6 lines on the screen at once but could easily see 10 if the lines were closer together.

I know that clutter is an issue for some impairments though, and some people just plain don't like lines that are squished together, so different users will need different settings.

For young kids especially, on shorter books, reading page numbers distracts from the reading experience.

When reading a book it would be great to quickly search for text within the whole book.

As it stands I cannot read my own material. I have therefore spent $20 for this app and cannot use it! I am very disappointed as I had high hopes this app would help me.

Is there a way to open my own pdf files with your app?

Please add the option for users to highlight and create annotations. This may be a luxury for some users; however, it is a necessity for some students. BookShare offers many students who struggle with reading disabilities the opportunity to enhance academic success- please continue to support them in adding more study options inside this app.

My students prefer the "reader voice" selections used in the PC applications, saying they are more natural and fluent sounding than the two included on the app.

I'd like to be able to set the two navigation steps that are available to me with the buttons at the bottom of the screen. I might prefer page and paragraph, someone else might prefer section and chapter.

Extra credit for making this a per book setting.

Rock on guys, you're doing awesome work here!

Like the iPod app, the Audible and Stitcher Apps can play while the device is locked, and will stop and start with two-finger double-tap. Also, play resumes after disconnecting from a call. I imagine this could only work with the speech engine and not with voice-over reading. Other than a few reproducable crashes, this is a great first approximation of Bookshare on iOS.

This may involve conflicts with voice over or zoom but how about on screen controls for audio without having to accurately tap small target. Many options like two fingers tap to play and stop or right flick one finger for next and two fingers for next section.

Many readers enjoy reading a book before they go to sleep. Having a configurable sleep timer would let users read until they fall asleep without losing their place in their book. Ideally, the app should make a bookmark of some kind when the book stops reading so the user can pick up where they left off the next time they open the book.

It would be great to be able to export DAISY notes and bookmarks and import them. Then the user could use a PC or Mac-based player along with Read2Go and share notes and bookmarks between the instances of their books. Services such as Amazon Kindle do this already, though, obviously, only between the various Kindle software/hardware.

Perhaps use Dropbox as the intermediary: The user syncs the bookmarks and notes to a dropbox folder and associates her multiple DAISY readers with that folder.

My husband, daughter and myself all are qualified bookshare members, but we share an iPad. Enabling multiple users would be very helpful!
