Has anyone reading this blog worked with DAISY? Norm Coombs of EASI is running a series of 2 free, online workshops about using it. One already took place & one is on May 9. I sub to his list and got an announcement about the workshops and the following info about what it is:

Perhaps you don't know what a DAISY book is! DAISY is a new electronic book format that gives the user fantastic abilities to manipulate a text that they are reading. It permits skipping to selected pages, skipping ahead by header or sub header, paragraph and sentence. Many believe it provides better ability for a reader to manipulate a text than anyone would have with a hard copy print book. The Library of Congress program providing books for the blind, Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic as well as the books that will soon be available for k-12 students, will use DAISY or a version of DAISY. Within 2-3 years, anyone involved in using or obtaining books in alternate formats will be familiar with it.

This is the first I've heard of it. Anyone used it?
