Dear Lynn,
Your message encouraged me but when I just went to the browse page and
clicked new books. I saw date added, author, title and download daisy and
BRF, but not a synopsis. I wonder if I missed something?
I also selected sort by title. The books appeared alphabetically by title
but the date added and author were still first in the table.
When sighted people see books, the information most prominent on the
cover, unless the author is mega famous, is the title. I wish the books
were listed by title first, even before time added. When I'm browsing new
books, I like skimming titles which is how most book shoppers look for
books unless they are after something more specific.
I practiced with commands from JAWS help to navigate the table better.
A couple worked well or partially and I didn't succeed with others.
Here's what works for me with windows XP.
Windows key with down arrow reads a row of the table.
Windows key with comma also reads a row of the table.
Windows key with period reads straight down a column like all titles or
all authors, but it reads at the speed I've set which is way two fast for
browsing and the quick commands to slow speech down don't work. If I press
windows key with comma repeatedly, JAWS reads the same title over and
over. I was hoping to press something and each time, get the next title
thereby being able to set my own pace.
Delving into how computers work is the opposite of fun for me. I am in
heaven when somebody tells me what to do and I do that thing forever and
it becomes automatic so I can enjoy things like validating or shopping
without giving the hows and whys a second thought.
Good luck everybody! Things are bound to get easier.
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi Dan,
Unless I'm missing something, if you go to the "browse" link and than to
the
"new books added" you will see each title under a separate heading along
with author, short synopsis and copyright date.
Blessings.
Lynnsky

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] short synopsis in book lists on new site
I too would very much like to see the short synopsis included with the
other
fields in book lists on the new site. It is rather disturbing to have to
go
to another page to see the synopsis.
The lists I am thinking of are the list of new books added, search
results
etc.
Thanks.
