Hi Carol,
It really depends on the type of book you are reading. For example, I have
the Daisy version of the NIV Bible from Torch. You can move as little as a
verse, by moving by phrase. No way can you do that in any Overdrive book,
because there is no markup. This is why I maintain that we are not getting
an equal service to theCD users, who get full Daisy markup. Can you imagine
if there was a Bible on Overdrive and you could only move by an arbitrary
number of minutes? Wouldn't make for much in the way of interesting
navigation, would it? I get the feeling that RNIB would like to abandon
Daisy by taking this action, but can't be sure.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] DAISY FORMAT AND MP3'S USED IN OVERDRIVE
Hi all,
I'm seeking to get a better understanding of what actually works and what
doesn't. I really love Daisy and am told that, even in Overdrive, certain
things, such as headers, will work. I understand also that RNIB have
markers every three minutes in their books in this library.
Can anyone who is well used to the ease and luxury of Daisy please tell me
any more about the restrictions OverDrive presents when these books are
transferred to the Victor Stream.
Thanks for any input on this one.
Carol P
