Hi all,
I read that we should rename or convert books downloaded from Bookshare into
HTML format. Of course, one can read these books with Safari and other
browsers. Can we make the browsers remember a particular place in the book?
Kindly let me know.
Thanks so much for all your suggestions
Jason,
granted i read bookshare books differently and am not as of yet using a
mac. Still I often come across a notation when searching for bookshare
books indicating that some works cannot be read in their web reader
program, but require another format be chosen.
My hope was to encourage
Bookshare Web Reader doesn't involve a download; the books are read on their
Web site directly.
An interesting alternative that I haven't tried is Thorium Reader, which can
access EPUB books. It's an Electron application that should work with VoiceOver.

If you are updated to Catalina, you can open the EPUB book in the Books app and
it reads … okay… or, if you are more technically minded, you can install Emacs,
Emacspeak, and use Nov.el to read it.

What I do is after unzipping the daisy book folder, open the xml file in Safari.

Hi Brandt,
Check the archives for more suggestions but the method I use right now is to
open the xml version of the book in safari. There is a free daisy player
called Olearia but I couldn't get it to read from one chapter to the next
without manually telling the program to move on. The
The way I do it is, use a program like the unarchiver which will unzip password
protected zip files. One of the files will have an xml extension, just open
that in safari and off you go.

This makes me wonder. Do you know of a program for the mac that lets you
create rar files?

Hi all,
I just tried to grab a book from bookshare.org using webkit. The zip file
downloaded just fine, but I can't seem to get a password prompt when I go to
unzip the file. It just tells me that it failed to extract.
Also, when I used windows I would just open the .xml file from daisy
Hi John,
I don't know if this has to do with it, but I unzip my files using unarchiver,
a free software that unzips any kind of file. when I unzip the bookshare book
it does give me the prompt for the password.
and yes, you can open the xml file and you can read the book with safari.
Hth,
Hi, Reading the xml file also works in ie8 in windows.
