For what it's worth, that kind of mirrors my own sentiments. I have enough to do when I am sitting at the computer as it is. When I do my reading I want to do it on an independent device that I can take elsewhere and relax. That is, of course, a personal preference and I am sure that it varies from person to person. As for the bookshelf, I have not yet looked at it, but I may check that out. Right now I have a Bookshare folder in my bookmarks with specific books bookmarked that I might want to download later. I hope that the bookshelf feature has a place to add personal notes. Right now I am adding very brief notes in the title of the bookmark that I have for each book.

Well, for myself, I don't like to be chained to a computer when reading a book. I can organize my own bookshelves.

Ideally, we'll have a reader that works in all browsers, but at the moment, we're doing the best we can with what we have. Our feeling is that something is better than nothing, so at least some people will be able to access their books though the reader while we work to make it accessible for everyone. Of course, we would like everyone to have equal access to everything, but that takes time and tricky engineering so we very much appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get this done!Best, Madeleine -----Original Message-----From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nimit KaurSent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 12:38 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Webreader question Yes, in addition to Martha, Google Chrome is not accessible with jaws12 which is what I have and I don't know personally, but people say Jaws 14 works with it and you have to purchase it $900 and it's still no accessible at all is a whole different frustrated story. Bookshare is for print disabilities people so I thought the designers should know how people with disabilities work and twat we all deal with. Especially us as students! Thanks!! Just some FYI!! Thought bookshare web designers might need it.On 1/31/13, Martha Rafter <mlhr@xxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Madeleine, Those of us who have an old version of JAWS have to pretty much stick to IE 8, and Google Chrome is not compatible at all. I just thought someone at Bookshare should know this. HTH!

You won't be able to use IE8. It works somewhat in IE9 and firefox, but your best bet is to use chrome if you want full functionality. If you have more questions, let me know and I can connect you with our support staff!

I don't see it in IE8 either, I see it in IE9 and in firefox.
