[Dtb-talk] DAISY book reading - IOS or special devices?

[Greg Kearney]

The biggest issue that you will encounter is that there are no iPad DAISY apps that can read National Library Service books at this time. This means that you are limited to books form overseas sources and RFB&D. Bookshare.org has their own app dedicated to their system.
