List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: 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? 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.
