[Athen] Hacking Learning Ally book

[Wink Harner]

Leyna et al ATHEN-ites,

There are DAISY mobile apps for smartphones & tablets as well. I do not
know whether your "giant anthology" would crash the student's cell phone,
but it IS possible to use the app on the phone for a more portable access.
Here's a link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redzoc.ramees.daisyreader&hl=en_US

It's also possible to use the Google app via cloud storage too if the
student uploads their book(s) to their Google Drive and "listen" online.
