I have only to pay for my subscription to bookshare.org and then I can download copyrighted books instead of just the public ones. They offer two daisy reader programs for free download on their site.
Is anyone a member of this book download site and which of the two offered daisy readers is the easiest to work. Yes, I did read both descriptions and they seem almost completely similar.
Any advice on the two programs is appreciated. And, yes, I am looking into getting one of those portable MP3/daisy reader devices, but they are a bit expensive.
I appologize if this is under the wrong topic, but I didn't know where to put it; under books, accessible electronics or what. Since this deals with downloading books, I put this here.
Thanks for any help.

The DAISY books from Bookshare are text. This means that you need an actual DAISY player, either software for your PDA like FSReader for a PAC Mate or if Sendero has one for mobile phones, or optionally a piece of hardware such as the Victor Reader Stream. I personally find the software nice because it works with my Braille display. Everyones preferences are different. A nice feature of DAISy, no matter which player you use, the DAISY format makes it easy to find sections and subsections in a book - nice for pleasure reading but really useful for any professionaal or student texts.
