Hi Listers, Tech support at Bookshare suggested I see if my ISP has a firewall. I'm thinking I have asked this before for other reasons and the answer is no. I'm still unwilling to pay for Bookshare until the BN is able to handle the payment option. If I'm still having trouble then well to me Bookshare isn't worth it. I just think if the BN was unable to handle the payment Web site I would get a message about it not being able to work in regards to the payment not in regards to the password from the Web site. I got an email with my user name and my password and was told to pay so to me if you don't want people to have their passwords and user names prior to receiving their payments then don't send them out it just makes sense. I'm not a business person and thank goodness for that. I honestly wondou how many of the books will be readable once I join which again makes me reconsider spending $75 which to me really is an outrageous cost. There may be ten thousand books but how many of them are really readable? Also I have to add an expense of ordering flash cards or something to store them on because I do not have a disk drive ! which I think I'd rather have a flash card. But once again the flash card could be corrupted and there would go my books. It's just an expensive risk that seems to have many expensive risks associated with it. Thanks for everyone's help. If I ever am able to fully enjoy Bookshare I'll let you know.
