That, of course, is useful only to those who own such a machine, which I would
guess has quite a hefty price.

Hi Kenneth, The ICON by Levelstar and the sister product called Braille Plus
from APH are handheld computers for the blind. One of their many capabilities
is to search and download wirelessly books directly from bookshare and to read
them with a very nice DAISY reader. They use the Eloquence TTS and have a 30Gb
hard drive for storage. You will find info on the icon at:
http://www.levelstar.com
Toll free: 800-315-2305.
I have covered the icon in my column for AFB's AccessWorld in November 2007.
See:
http://afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw080602
There is an ICON discussion list. Send a note to:
Icon-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
and enter 'subscribe' in the subject field.
Feel free to contact me privately if you want more info.

Okay, I understand that page numbers are stripped by Kurzweil. So, I have
downloaded the BookShare file and would now like to ask this question. What
device do I use to open this book so that the page numbers are revealed to me?
Any help would be appreciated.
