Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
 Puppies are the joy at one end.
 Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Book Wizard Reader is software that lets you read Digital Talking Books. 
It's a comprehensive program that supports all Digital Talking Book formats, 
including DAISY 2 books (such as books available from Recordings for the 
Blind & Dyslexic) and DAISY 3 books (such as text-based books from 
bookshare.org). The program also supports the new full-text, full-audio 
books in DAISY 3 format. If you are unfamiliar with the DAISY format and the 
advantages it offers, see examples at our web site, www.aph.org/tech. If you 
have a subscription to bookshare.org, you'll be impressed by the structured 
access to the daily newspapers and magazines they offer.
