Kandi that is because bookshare deals in text. I can assure you we get lots of talking books on daisy read by real live people and you can still jump by chapter and even pages. I know of a book that in fact was indexed by line great for those who love poems.

I hate looking through tapes too. What I don't understand though is that the DAISY books that are supported on the BN from Bookshare are text-only, so it's pretty much the same as reading a text or BRF file, except that it takes up much more space. If the DAISY books had recorded narration, then that would be different.
