Hi,
 
Actually, I'm using JAWS 9.0.

I'm not sure what you are using, I would guess some type of notetaker.
 
With jaws 6.2 pressing tab on the authors goes as it should, from one author
to the next one.
 
I, for one, would prefer to have to go to the book's list instead of having
links to download the Braille or daisy versions, because I then have more
information about the book, such as book length, submitter, etc. before
downloading it.

Hi,
 
I went to check out the newest books from Bookshare, and download the ones I
wanted.  Basically, a morning to catch up on all the things I'd meant to
download but hadn't got around to.
 
I noticed a few things about the new books list.
 
1.  It doesn't display the download links for Daisy and BRF.  You actually
have to click on each book, and then download from the book's page.  Could
this be changed?
 
2.  When a book has more than one author, this page behaves strangely.  For
instance, I'm on the second page of results, looking at
<http://www.bookshare.org/web/SingleTitle.html?submittitleid=46896> Adult
Students: An Insider's Guide to Getting into College.  I hear the title, and
hit tab.  It tells me the first author's name, Jen Tanabe, and I press tab
again.  Instead of saying the second authors name, Kelly Tanabe, it says By.
Not sure why it does this, but it's definitely odd.
 
Thanks.
