I do need to apologize. You don’t actually have to download the DAISY books if you don’t want to. They are designed to install into the default JAWS folder, and they don’t give you a lot of indications as to where they’re going. I think these are the files JAWS downloads if you use FS reader to install the downloadable training materials. Instead, you might want a set of mp3 files. Here’s how to get those:
On the JAWS training downloads page, if you navigate by headings, you will first hit a heading for DAISY books for JAWS. The next heading is for the mp3 versions. They are in plain .zip files. And, 2 files you might want to listen to from that section are the getting started files. They are not in the DAISY section. They cover the installation of JAWS and a few other things. They are intended for those who install from the DVD, but, the install from DVD is not too different from the downloadable install. Here are direct links to those files: http://www.freedomscientific.com/doccenter/archives/JAWS-MP3/GettingStartedWithJAWS-Side1-MP3.zip http://www.freedomscientific.com/doccenter/archives/JAWS-MP3/GettingStartedWithJAWS-Side2-MP3.zip Sorry I didn’t include those earlier.

I was able to download a bok as an experiment but it was only text. I find I learn these types of things better if I have audio, and I remember when I got my first ever copy of JFW the set of training tapes that came with them.

Also, I could not access anything from the links. The only file was the very first one, getting started.
