I suspect it is because RFB and D's books are of their own "proprietory" format. People who use the Book Porte have to buy an extra plug in to access the files, and the daisy players provided online or from Bookshare don't work with the RFB and D books. You have to buy a particular player, from them of course to get their books to work. Which of course is rather ironic, considering Daisy was supposed to be the Universal file format. But ah well. Universal access is struck down again by well, cooperate desires. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.
