When are we going to see a fix for the long book problem. This was pointed up
during testing last year and is still an issue. How many sighted people would
tolerate borrowing a book from a library only to find that they could only read
a part of it? I o the argument that this only affects a small percentage of the
books in the library, but having to take into account the length of a book is
surely not something about which a borrower should need to be concerned.

We are working with Dolphin to improve searching and browsing on their
platforms.
Books are uploaded in batches so if you look at latest you will sometimes see
a number of Braille or DAISY titles listed.
Reading Services is hosted by Bookshare who also provide a number of EPUB
titles.
On the Reading Services site non RNIB titles are filtered out by default but
users can choose to see all formats in the advanced search option.
We will also be improving searching on the site in the coming months.
