But, on the other hand, isn't Daisy just that, a blind getto standard? I had the impression that Daisy was developed so that blind people, especially students should easier be able to read and knnow their place in the books and easier gather info and be able to put bookmarks in at places and so forth? If the Daisy standard really is a standard for the blind, should we really expect that mainstream products should support it? I don't know for sure about this, just throwing out the question to see what the result will be since i'm curious about this. /Krister
