No funciona en mi Mac Air

Seguramente sea la culpa de la basura del Mac. 1200 euros gastados en el ordenador, engañado por la reputación de Apple de ser los mejores ordenadores, y luego me tengo que descargar el Google Chrome, porque el navegador que llevan décadas desarrollando, Safari, es una patata que da problemas de todo tipo, en el McAffee que me colocaron en la tienda no consigo activar el firewall, aplicaciones que no se abren, en fin, una puñetera estafa. Solo hace dos meses que me he comprado este cacharro y ya estoy amargamente arrepentido, podría haber gastado 400 euros menos y no habría adquirido un ordenador peor. Si esta reseña sirve para que alguien evite a los bandidos de Apple, habrá merecido la pena escribirla.

Enhanced ebooks?

To my understanding, I should be able to click on the icon within the ebook to hear the audio but it does not work. I can only seem to listen to the audio by going to the audio playlist. It would be very convenient to be able to use tap on the audio icon in the lesson to listen.
