Lissi,

I'm not certain whether you're using Kurzweil 1000.  But you can annotate
the book and/or the reading material with the K1K as much and however you
want.  Let me know if you or anyone else needs details.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] interactive reading, is it possible

Dear Bookshare Friends,

When I read print books I loved interacting with them, underlining and 
putting scads of notes in the margins. I'd mark passages, P for poetically 
expressed, R for redundant, CH, for cheap trick, G for gratituous, O for 
original idea, V for vocabulary word new to me, X for I oppose this idea, Y 
for Yes, I concur, F for fact worth remembering, TH, for thought provoking, 
and on and on.

Since I don't like the daisy reader's voice, the only way I know of 
listening to a book from Bookshare is to say yes to the prompt that makes it

an html file. As far as I know, I can't alter those file, either to correct 
errors in the text, or to splatter it with my highlights, lowlights and 
various observations.

I'd also like to be able to highlight, then cut and paste memorable quotes 
from the book file, to one of my quotes files.

Is there a way I can read interactively with audio books from Bookshare on 
my computer which has windows XP and microsoft Word 2003?

Always with love,

Lissi
