Personally I would wait for SL if you can its only a couple of
months and unless you NEED a leopard install right now I would say
hold off.
This is just my personal opinion and the current leopard is still AU
$129 I think and the SL will be approximately AU$50.

The Daisy standard is hardly a bizarre format and when made
correctly the books are playable on existing iPods and other such
devices. The issue here is not Daisy the issue is that NLS and to a
lesser degree RFBD have chosen to add digital rights management aka
encryption to their books.
The other thing NLS does is using the AMR codec.

The trouble seems to be that the books have to be in some sort of encrypted
format, and let's face it, iTunes is sort of encrypted, but even that can
be, well gotten around. With DAISY, ye you can put them into iPod format,
but it takes a lot of work--I think--to do. Could be wrong though.

Not to start beating this to death, but another very important point is what
you use the material for. I've used the Daisy format for text books only.
That is completely different that how you would listen to a novel which I
believe would be a different experience for the user of the format.
Yes textbook require much more in the way of navigation such as page
numbering. The NLS, which is mostly centered around recreational
reading, as a rule does not support page number or in some cases even
chapters.
