[nabs-l] Frustrated with Bookshare!

[Joshua Lester]

Hi, Aleeha!
How's it going?
I'll probably get booed for this on the list, like I was at the Jaws seminar, but I'm using Windows Vista.
I'll download FS Reader.
Is it free?
Blessings, Joshua

Hello,
Although many on this list have given you some excellent advice, let me add a few things.
First, what version of windows are you running? You may be able to upgrade to Internet explorer 9 and use the web player that bookshare has just introduced.
Second, you can download a program called fs reader if you don't already have it that is from freedom scientific and will read bookshare books.
Third and finally, you can use an iPod or other audio player to play the audio versions of bookshare books.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I
Thanks,
Aleeha
