Hello Debbie and Janina, Bookshare is gradually moving the titles from O'reilly to its collection. Several weeks ago, they added approximately 20 titles. At this time, they are a bit short-staffed and are unable to process O'reilly titles as much as they would like. However, if as a user, you are interested in obtaining a particular title, please write to oreilly@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and the staff will obtain a title for you. I hope this information helps. Pratik P.S The books that currently exist, are in an excellent quality. They are not yet converted in the BRF format, considering the challenge to convert technical material into braille. However they are available in Daisy, which, in turn, can be converted to html which are nicely linked and excellent heading navigation is provided.

I had the same experience, which is why I suggested their O'Reily titles may not yet be in the catalog. I do know that they have access to all the O'Reily Safari titles. And, they have them in pristine XML, so they'll be very high quality copies at BookShare. I would suggest writing them to find out how to get at them. If you do, please let us all know what they say. -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina@xxxxxxx Phone: (202) 408-8175 _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
