@ColibrioReader Other, word highlight with choice of colour(giving the ability to not have it). Not my personal view, based on user feedback.

[Richard Orme @ways2read]

@ColibrioReader As an addition to themes, yes. Some people need quite specific combinations of colours for a comfortable reading experience.

@ColibrioReader And I have just finished reading a complete book in the app, switching between tablet and smartphone. It worked very smoothly and there are plenty of ways to adjust for how I like to read. Thank you!

@CopyrightRuth @Andy_Tattersall My dog has an equafleece summer suit for muddy winter walks and runs. Longer legs than the fleece version, which is used as a bath robe

[Richard Orme @ways2read]

@mygulstad @HugoSetzer @ABCbooks4all Lots of topics are covered, including rights and responsibilities, reading apps and devices, creating accessible digital publications from print or image only PDF, producing DAISY audio, EPUB and Braille. I hope soon we develop new lessons on math and other STEM topics.
