Kandi, the BN supports much more than books from Bookshare. For those of us outside the U.S. who have mPower or PK and KeySoft 7.2, there are audio books in the DAISY format, either from our local libraries or elsewhere that can be played on the machines. I know this is true in Canada and the U.K., and probably in the Scandinavian countries if any of their residents are subscribed to this list. DAISY audio allows for the same kind of precise navigation through an audio book as DAISY text.

I mean, you can only download DAISY books if you are a member of bookshare, and then you can also download BRF books. Since Bookshare DAISY books don't have narration, aren't they basically the same except that the DAISY books take up more space and freeze our units sometimes?
