Hi Desiree, The DAISY files which can be downloaded from bookshare are only text files formatted with DAISY standards. This means that using the BN DAISY player, you will be able to move around by certain units of navigation, for example by section, or chapter. The BN will still read to you in Eloquence or which ever speech you are using. Bookshare books are NOT read by a digitally recorded human voice as with the RFBD books.

I have seen the daisey files on bookshare, but have always done the brf files. What exactly is the daisey? Does it read it in a synthesized voice still? What is the difference between listening to eloquence read and the daisey reader? I know, it is ignorant, but I am curious.

But I do not think of ks7.2 as a real big thing... The daisy reader is probably the most useful item in there... But it still would be nice to have it. As for the download, it would take about 3 hours on this 28.8 kbps. The prob would be that my family needs the net anytime.
