Some of the books such as the O'Reily ones are only in DAISY and not anything else. Hence the need for parsing the XML or whatever. I know little or nothing much about DAISY right now except for some of the navigation aspects. It was mentioned in another message that bookshare was mainly concerned about page navigation; not sure if that meant only between pages or what. I would especially find chapter and section navigation as well as jumping off from a table of contents to be of great importance. DAISY reader for linux? <hmmm> that could be an interesting project. I'm really not qualified to go and write another web browser but parsing the XML code to something meaningful perhaps? Gee, even if I could translate into navigable HTML document for starters would be better than what we have right now.
