• An entire DAISY book will fit on one CD whereas a standard audio book would be contained on multiple cassette tapes or on multiple CD’s. • A DAISY book allows you to move from one page to another or from one chapter to another whereas a standard audio book on CD only allows you to skip from one track to another. Also, cassette tapes only allow you to fast forward or rewind through the audio. • With a DAISY book, the table of contents or index becomes useful because you can go to the exact page, unlike a standard audio book which just plays from start to finish. • When reading a DAISY book, the digital playback device will “remember” where you stopped reading and resume from that spot when you start reading again even if you have taken the book out of the machine and placed it back in at a later date. A standard audio book on CD would start at the beginning of the book and you would have to skip through the tracks to find your spot. • DAISY books allow the use of “bookmarks” so that you can easily return to that favourite section of a book. This is especially helpful with books like the Bible or magazines. • DAISY books allow you to find the specific articles that you would like to read in a magazine and to skip to the sections that you would like to read in a reference book.
