Hi Bob,
I agree with you.  I like having to go to the books list before downloading.

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 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.
