Introduction of the Daisy multimedia book format, which integrates text, sound, images and video in a synchronized sequence. Daisy presents a high usability for digital reading thanks to its advanced navigation through text or audio. The article also describes DTBook, the text component of Daisy, which is a highly structured xml format ideal to create alternate format editions. The article sets out the differences between Daisy and other audiobooks and presents the most common Daisy players and Daisy market adoption. The format has good potential for becoming a flagship format in ebook publishing if costs of playing devices decrease and a solution is found for digital rights management.
