Netta:
I can download and check for you, but I guess I am confused as to what you
are asking? Are you reading with a BN or a BrailleSense? I think I would
find all the headings a problem too, but if you are using a BN, can you
search for a specific heading or chapter to make it easier? Can you give me
a little more info on what you want or are you just venting, which I sure
would do if it were me! (smiles)

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Can someone please help me...preferrably a braille

Hello guys;
I need one of the Braille readers to please help me. There is a textbook on
Bookshare, Traditions and Encounters: A Global Prospective on the Past 5th
edition by Herbert F. Ziegler and Jerry H. Bentley. The book was marked with
over 1500+ headings and I would like to know if someone who uses a Braille
note or other device (refreshable Braille-type) has as much trouble
navigating such a book? I'm using JAWS and download Daisy text only and have
the darnest navigating through this book. I'm actually thinking that it is
just me, you know, sort of like a pet peeve thing but would really like to
know. I've already submitted a quality report to the development team.
In the book some of the material marked with heading navigation are areas
like author's bio and credits, editors credits, picture credits, "how to use
the book" and the like...just my opinion...way too much. Do we, college
students, really care about that stuff? Me, NO! I just want to be able to
get to the material I need to get to and move around the book like my
classmates. This is the edition they are using in class but I don't like
this edition because of the many heading navigation's which is causing me to
lose out in class because the earlier edition is not as in-depth as this
one.
Please someone download the book and check it out for me...I honestly think
that I am losing my mind here.
The link to the book is:

It is the 5th book down (using heading navigation 'H')
Thanks,
