Hi Steve, The booksshare books are either in DAISY or in BRF files. I haven't tried the DAISY stuff, but Raman's made noises about a DAISY reader for Emacspeak. I think you can read the xml files from the DAISY books. I haven't tried that. I just download the BRF files and back translate 'em with NFBtrans. Ann P. -- Ann K.
