Kurzweil handles Daisy.
Remember that when you translate to Braille, the formatting and other
attributes get changed including page size. Braille as a rule is twice the
size of print.
So of course the pages aren't going to lay where you expect them too.
But Daisy files are readily read by Kurzweil 9 and above.

Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Help, please, reading books on bookshare
Hello Everyone,
I have just downloaded my first few books from the collection. I
downloaded as brf, since I don't have a daisy reader, and am too lazy at
this very moment to learn an entire new set of reading commands. When I
open the files, the page breaks do not fall where page breaks should. I am
using Kurzweil version 9 to convert and read. /Am I having this page break
problem because Kurzweil doesn't convert accurately? I even downloaded a
book that I submitted, so I know that the original page breaks were where
they should be. Is this just testimony to the fact that laziness is a very
undesirable personal character trait? Or can I actually read in K1000 in
some way? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
Peace,
Mayrie
