I haven't used NFB News Line, but I can tell you what the Book Reader is for. First, it lets you look at braille and text files in a read-only mode so you won't accidentally make changes when your intent is strictly to read. This is great for web braille or Project Gutenberg files you might download just for reading purposes. I often also use it to check information in my own files when I have no intention of making changes but just want to look at something.
Book Reader also lets you read DAISY talking books like the books you can read on your Victor Reader Stream.

If you get your newspapers sent to you from NFB Newsline and they go into your Keymail email, why is it necessary to put them in the book reader? Is there a reason to do this rather than just read it from your email? I haven't ever used the book reader yet so don't really know its purpose. Using the book reader is still on the flash disk, right? So it isn't freeing up any space is it? I'm truly asking out of complete ignorance. I must be a slow learner. Oh, I have the mPower 7.5, 31. It all comes unzipped in your regular email, right? The newspapers I mean. And are their dates there?
