You could check out www.audiobookstand.com
where their audio books on CD incorporate the DAISY format, among others. You would need to transfer the contents of the CD to a storage card on your mPower. Their books are for sale commercially from the Web site. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rusty Perez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 11:40 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Send a message to Humanware!!! Jim, which daisy books are available for playing? Please point me to a source of DAISY books, for purchase or not, and I may use the player. I challenge any one to point out a healthy source of DAISY books. I don't think they exist.

Hello all, I personally think the message should be sent to RFB and D not to Humanware! I think a standard will be set for these Daisy books whether RFB and D goes along with it or not. I for one want the new file advantages that 7.2 offers and if I do indeed have another SMA, I'm going to use it! I'd rather the M-power do a graceful job in handling these RFB and D files rather than do a lousy job of it. For now, I'll enjoy what Daisy books I can play till RFB and D books can be played! Sorry! I can't get on that band wagon!
