Hi Laura
I have been getting books from bookshare fore several years and some of them
are quirky. There is another reader available. It is called Book Wizard
Reader. A beta version can be found on the American Printing house for the
blind website www.aph.org
I have used both it and Victor reader, both are quirky. but sometimes a book
will read better on one than the other. Unfortunately the current version of
Book Wizard seems to be less reliable than some of the older ones. I have
downloaded some books where html was the only thing that worked,
Hope this helps some ---- Good luck
Sam Sammons
