Hi Anna,
Thanks so much for the book recommendation … I went and immediately purchased it. The trouble I then had is when I tried to play the DAISY copy I purchased on my Victor Stream. I prefered to listen to the text version of the DAISY so that if I wanted it to spell something I could, and I just liked that voice better. NFB has however, created a DAISY version of this book which has tremendously long pauses between each word, such that I am unable to listen to the text version. I switched to their audio version, but even then I found their audio has unacceptably long pauses between each word, so that the book doesn’t flow naturally. Are others noticing this? I seldom buy a DAISY version of a book, preferring an epub version (which is usually available but not in this case), but I’ve never run across before. I did call NBP and they were willing to substitute a Word document version, but so far no luck in getting my Victor to play Word documents (so I converted it to a .txt file and just lost all the navigational capabilities within the book). Just asking if others who use Victor run into this, or is it just this book, and also as a warning to those who may want to purchase this book. It’s a shame whatever NBP is doing to create DAISY seems to be causing this, and also that they don’t offer an epub version.
