Hello Joe,
When you unpacked the book, were you asked if you wanted an HTML copy? If
you said "no", then unpack it again, saying "yes" this time. Once done, you
may read the book by finding it and pressing enter. It'll open in your
default browser. If that's Firefox, then you'll have exactly what you want.
:-)
These books are provided in text based DAISY format. Victor Reader Soft is
provided by Bookshare as a free solution for accessing these books. If you
don't like it, then you may certainly purchase another DAISY reader, such as
FSReader from Freedom Scientific. Otherwise, you may read the .html file in
your web browser of choice.

OK, but I want to read the books off-line. I am confused by your
explanation
about reading in Internet explorer since I use Firefox and don't want to
read
books while online. Perhaps someone else can give me more options and
explain
the file extensions I mentioned.
