Support for daisy books

[Cambridgeport90]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

no

Describe the solution you'd like

Would be amazing if Bookworm could open and read Daisy formatted books from places like Bookshare.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can still view these with my old QRead license, but Bookworm is superior to the former in every way.

Additional context

Some stuff on Bookshare like newspapers, are only accessible via the Daisy format and are not available in any others. I'm trying to have a "one book reader to rule them all" sort of thing going on here.

Hello @Cambridgeport90

Support for Daisy is a high priority work for me.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to any Daisy documents to test with, and I don't have access to Bookshare.

I'm willing to help anyone who wants to work on this.

Therefore, this issue will remain open as a challenge for the community, and I hope that some one will step out and accept the challenge.

Best

If I knew Python, then, I would… I don’t, unfortunately… Glad to know that it’s one for the community… because is someone hasn’t stepped out in a few months, maybe by then the landscape will change just a little.

Hello @Cambridgeport90
I think if you give Bookshare access to @mush42 then it would be easy to test books in daisy format and integrate the ability to read books in daisy, wouldn't it?
As @mush42 stated, he currently does not have access to Bookshare.

Would absolutely do that if I knew how. From: DraganRatkovich ***@***.***> Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2022 3:49 PM To: blindpandas/bookworm ***@***.***> Cc: Katherine M.

@mush42 @Cambridgeport90 @DraganRatkovich Any chance of bringing DAISY support to fruition? This lack of support forces us to stick to the likes of QRead. A book reader for the blind should really support DAISY text books. I don't mean downloading Bookshare titles - I just mean opening them, accessing their headings, table of contents, etc., just like Epub titles.
