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.

Subject: [Braillenote] Question about daisy



Just curious, if the BN only supports DAISY books from Bookshare,
and the Bookshare Daisy books are Text-only, why do we even need
DAISY support at all? 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?
