We are working on a subsection command for the Book Port.
There are some architectural barriers in the device that prevent us from =
using all six levels of a Daisy book, so what we are doing in the short =
term is providing 2 levels, one that moves from the most broad heading and =
one command that moves to any heading.

Larry,
I have downloaded the New York Times from Bookshare - I can navigate
from section to section with the Bookport, but I do not see how to
navigate from article to article easily within a section.
I've also run into this issue with the "New York Times Large Print
Weekly" in BRF f format from the NLS download site - i.e., I can easily
navigate from section to section with the Bookport (i.e.,
"International", "Business", "Science and Health", etc.), but cannot
easily navigate to the beginning of articles within a particular
section. =20
For the Bookshare Daisy formats, we probably need to be able to navigate
by sub-section with the Bookport - Can this be done?
For the NLS formats, perhaps some feedback to NLS and/or modification of
how Bookport finds sub-sections could work out these issues more easily
for the user?
I don't know what can be done here. If you have any suggestions, please
let us know.
Thanks.

These are actually cooler in Daisy format. With Daisy, you can jump
from =3D article to article.
