Hi all--

I contacted Bookshare today; they said they updated to a new Braille translation software, which takes the page numbers out when transcribing. They are working to resolve this and add the numbers back in soon.

Bookshare also suggested that DAISY books will allow for better navigation for now and have pages in them. I've never used DAISY on my Apex. I really don't want/need the audio; I prefer to read books in Braille. Is there a way to download a DAISY book and just get the text of a file, not the audio? (If I remember correctly from discussion on this list, when downloaded, each DAISY book is in its own folder with several files.) Maybe the audio file could be deleted?

Also, are there any specific navigation commands that are different from BRF files that I would need to know for DAISY?
Thanks for any help,

--
Kristen
