Veronica,
I think I should inform you that you can also read the Daisy files
using the Web browser of your choice. I tend to use Mozilla Firefox
because it seems to handle very large books better than IE11. All you
need do to do this is to unzip the files for a given book into a folder
of the same name, and look for the title of the book's .xml file, and
press enter on it. You will be able too navigate most books using links
and headers.
You may use an online reader located on the Bookshare page, but at this
point, I have not elected to do so. I would rather download my books to
my computer in order to keep them for later reference. There is plenty
of information concerning these readers in the help section of the home
page.
HTH,
Larry

Hello Veronica,
I just checked out the Bookshare web site, and it does appear that you
will need a Reader to read that Daisy file.
There are three readers mentioned on the Bookshare site, that are Free,
and another 4 or 5 that require a payment to purchase, ranging from $10
to $35.
Looks like you will need to down load one of these readers, to your computer,
and read the file in that reader.
Some of these readers have a Voice that can read the Text in the Daisy
file.
Grumpy Dave
