Thanks David, you confirmed what I understood.

 

Curious though as to how you managed to get FS reader to appear within your
open with choices. I wasn't sure where to find it when looking to make it to
the default program and Sight and Sound weren't able to help - they said it
was not possible to do it that way and that I should open it from within the
Reader.

Generally the existence of smil  files and NCC.html is a indication that
this is a Daisy Book. What I do to check the integrity of the book is to
test it in the Free PC FSReader app which is bundled with Jaws. As long as
you have installed a Jaws version, even in 40 minute demo mode you will have
access to FS Daisy reader. It works fine with NVDA for example.

   

I use the open with dialogue on NCC.html  file and point it at FS Reader. If
this loads the book ready for reading in FS Reader you will have the
legitimate Daisy status confirmed.

A strange question perhaps but  looking at the contents of a book folder how
would you determine whether it was or was not a daisy BOOK? Putting it
another way, if it contains .smil  files and an ncc.html file along with mp3
files, would it not be a DAISY book?

 

I ask this because it is being suggested that a particular book of this
construction will not read within the Go Read app because it is an MP3 book.
