moderated Trouble Opening & Reading A Big DAISY File
Kane Brolin
Hello.
During the past few days, I have tried a number of times to open and read a particular Bookshare archive in DAISY format on my ElBraille 4th Generation using FS Reader 3.0. This is how I was told it would work best to read electronic books in Braille on that particular device. This has always worked well, except for the book in question: "Napoleon" by Andrew Roberts. https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/2258342?returnPath=L3NlYXJjaD9tb2R1bGVOYW1lPXB1YmxpYyZrZXl3b3JkPWFuZHJldyByb2JlcnRz Whenever I attempt to open this DAISY archive on the ElBraille, my unit freezes. This has not happened with any other DAISY archives, and the only difference I can see is that this one contains 69 files instead of the 10 to 20 files that I ordinarily find in a Bookshare DAISY archive. The data package weighs in at a little more than 10 MB after I've decompressed. Of course, I checked the integrity of my download and tested the same file on FS Reader 3.0 using my more conventional Windows 10 PC: a Dell Precision notebook. It worked perfectly. Is this DAISY archive simply too big for ElBraille to process? I realize I am casting a wide net here by sending to three different lists at the same time, but I'm not sure who is best positioned to help. Thanks for any clues you may provide. I hope one of them will cause me to solve this. Kind regards, -Kane On 6/
