Hi Laura I have been getting books from bookshare fore several years and some of them are quirky. There is another reader available. It is called Book Wizard Reader. A beta version can be found on the American Printing house for the blind website www.aph.org I have used both it and Victor reader, both are quirky. but sometimes a book will read better on one than the other. Unfortunately the current version of Book Wizard seems to be less reliable than some of the older ones. I have downloaded some books where html was the only thing that worked, Hope this helps some ---- Good luck Sam Sammons ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura Eaves" <leaves1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 6:34 AM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] problems with VictorReader > Hello all -- I just subscribed to this list in hopes of getting some help > with a problem I started having this morning with VictorReader. > I have been downloading books from bookshare for months now and using VR > with JAWS with no problem.
