[Athen] Very cool eBook development

[Shelley Haven]

Wow, that's neat!  We are definitely in the midst of a major paradigm  
shift in how people access information.


> Has anyone seen this reader from Humana...



I wonder if he actually meant "Humanware" and was referring to the  
ClassMate Reader?  (He said he was writing all this from memory.)  He  
wrote that the DAISY file was "downloaded to a device from Humana,  
specifically designed for the reading impaired" which certainly fits  
the ClassMate description.
