If I want to keep reading my Bookshare books, guess that's what I'm gonna have to do. I have tried the new Chromium Edge, and so far I am amazed as to how well it still seems to work with WE. The major problem being is the DAISY issue. As for Net Bat's suggestion to try opening a new account and see if things don't clear up, I have never done that before, so hope that process doesn't prove to be tricky. I have had enough computer drama to last me for at least a year over the past week. If anyone can come up with anything else, or encourage changing accounts, guess that would be fine, just as long as it works <smile>.
