[nabs-l] Frustrated with Bookshare!

[Mike Freeman]

I suspect that perhaps the gentleman doesn't know which file to look at. My
advice would be to look at the .XML file. However, depending upon how it's
written, Internet Explorer reads .XML files well ... or not-so-well. But I'd
bet the Amis public-domain DAISY player would also work well.

I have used bookshare books with jaws 10 and internet explorer before and
didn't have any problems. Maybe its the file type you downloaded it as? I
used Daisy Text.
