DTB players are similar to books on tape, except that they're recorded on CDs in the DAISY format. DAISY is an acronym for Digital Audio-based Information SYstem.

Books created in the DAISY format are electronic files that are often made available on CD but they can also be accessed by an ever widening variety of e-text readers. These books are smaller in physical size than books on tape and can significantly improve users' reading speed and efficiency.
