Mickey,
For those individuals who are unable to read the printed page because of
a
print disability other than a visual one, it is indeed important to
preserve
the print integrity. Especially users with learning disabilities may have
the actual print book with them. Some people with learning disabilities
follow along with their print book. And, some may not use the DAISY book
exclusively to study or read. It's important to make sure that we match
the
book as much as possible when it comes to content.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. That makes sense, but if they're unable to use the printed page,
either because of vision or inability to turn the page, would the
integrity
of the printed page be important? I'm asking to gain knowledge.

Hi, Mickey! As Carrie said, Bookshare is also available to folks with
disabilities that prohibit them from turning pages in a book. In
addition, people with learning disabilities such as dyslexia can also use
Bookshare. Hope this helps!

I forgot my main question. If Bookshare isn't being used strictly for the
braille user or the speech user, for whom the double-dash makes sense,
for
whom are we working? If a person can read a book, why would that person
use Bookshare? If that person can't use a book, why wouldn't he be
pleased
with what comes across best in speech or braille?
This did cause me to reflect on what our user population is, and if
we're
working for a specific population, why we aren't doing what's easiest
for
that population.
Not trying to start something--just looking for answers. Oh, that dash
was a dash, not an m-dash. <grin>
Thanks for the help in understanding.
