Kelly, Because your friend has been getting is books from RFB&D he will neeed to purchase a specific plyer that RFB&D sells. The main reason for this is that RFB&D books are protected in such a way as to make them unusable by products that do not have the key system installed. There are a few solutions out there that can be used with RFB&D such as the bookport, the Victor Reader Wibe, the Telex Player Etc. THe I would recommend that the software players be purchased directly from RFB&D. If interested in the hardware players such as the Bookport, the players can be pruchased directly through the manufacters or other vendors and a key obtained from RFB&D. Note that there is a charge to obtain the key from RFB&D. If you can give us more information, I'm sure we can provide more guidance. HTH.

Daisy question A friend of mine called me this morning with a daisy question. I don't totally get it but here goes. He's been getting his text books on cd's areading in daisy format. Well today the cd drive or the program that ran with it stopped working. (He called it a daisy cd drive) He doesn't want to pay a lot of money for a new daisy reader. I told him he could get demo daisy reader for now to see whitch worked. He said he was going to call RFB&D later about it since that's where he get the books from. What other suggestions could I give him? Kelly C ps. Yes, Kasondra, it's Paivy that called and asked me.
