Even when there is no annotation, the labels, Brief Synopsis and Long Synopsis, are still there. If there's nothing in them, they'll just say N.A. or something like that. I use Window Eyes and I can find them with both Firefox and Internet Explorer. With both JAWS and Window Eyes, you can use their Find commands and search for any word or words on a web page. So if your book is listed, and you can't find the annotations, you can always use the Find command to search for the word Synopsis, and you'll land on the Brief Synopsis because that's the first one. To be sure not to miss it, start at the top of the page and do the search from there. I use my Window Eyes Find command all the time on Amazon's bloated pages to search for book descriptions, editorial reviews, reviews from customers, and other stuff. If I used my arrow keys, my fingers would become inoperative from some repetetive stress injury or other in pretty short order.

There were those few PQ books that didn't have one, but they had enough to tell one that there wasn't going to be anything. I go to bookshare.org, then to browse or my bookshare and then browse, and usually I'm right on new books. Everything is there. Is it the difference between windoweyes and jaws or between IE and firefox? That can make a difference. At one time I had problems navagating audible on firefox, but that has cleared up. It's a hastle getting them on iPhone. The stream has a really easy way to get the annotations. Of course tomorrow, I could find myself in the same situation. It's happened before, so I don't want to be criticle, but I don't think the problem is with bookshare.-----Original Message----- From: Rosemarie Grayley

However, at least with the way my machine is configured, I must enter on the title to see it if it is there at all now. Why some annotations pop up instantly upon entering on a title is quite enough of a conundrum for me. Interesting how different programs handle these details. I'm not computer savvy enough to experiment, so work with what I have.

Is this an explorer problem? -----Original Message----- From: Rosemarie Grayley Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 3:28 PM To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: annotations I'm looking on the page that's presented when entering on the title of the book. I went to the bottom of the page twice, either no synopsis was given at all or I simply missed it. All settled now.

There isn't anything under the title except the author's name. Clicking on each produces nothing. I've been up and down the page with the arrow key and gotten nowhere. Quite mystified.

Actually, the other day, when I had the title incorrect, the site offered me the correct title and when I entered on it, the annotation was there. I'm using Jaws 13.

After the last time the site was redone, for a short time the information could be found by entering on a title. Now, I don't find anything and searching around hasn't produced anything.
