Re: Bookshare on the Mac
Yes you can, after unzipping a daisy book, one of the files has an xml extention, that should open in safari allowing you to read the book.

Re: Bookshare on the Mac
I never even thought of that. But doesn't that make reading a long book problematic because if I am not mistaken, by reading it in Safari there is no way to bookmark where you leave off. If I am wrong, please let me know.

Bookshare on the Mac
Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to read Bookshare books on the Mac? I think that using V O to read a book would be a nice way to read, but I don't know if there is any Daisy software that I could use on my Mac.
