[nabs-l] Textbooks

[Ashley Bramlett]

Anjelina,
your welcome. The book from audible was great quality and I thought pretty 
reasonabily priced for an unabridged book.
I do not think you can book mark in those books, but you can stop it and 
resume playing at the same point later on. I know that humanware and audible 
have teamed up to make the stream read their books and maybe via a vr stream 
audible books can be marked, not sure. That would be one disadvantage with 
commercial audio books; they are not marked up in sections like we're used 
to in a daisy book. But I think they do have some markings; like each 
chapter is a separate file or something.

If you try the audible route and do have a victor reader product, you might 
ask humanware just what flexibility you have with the book. I know many 
blind people do use audible books paired with a vr stream or vr stratus, so 
it works; just not sure to what extend you will get navigation.
Let me know how you like it if you use audible; only used them once or twice 
so I forget what it was like.
Ashley
