>number of other bug fixes were also added.

>software DAISY player on the OSX platform.

>Built from the ground up with accessibility in mind, it has several

>In particular the library function which, although not as flexible

>book or document list and have bookmarks stored for each document in
>your book library.

>I will be writing to the developers shortly; as I have lot of suggestions
>for them.

>But for now, what we have is a good little player, although as I said
>at the start, Olearia does a nice job. ReadHear's interface is, to be
>honest, much more intuitive and interactive.

>If you want to try ReadHear, get it from:
