I download web braille books to my computer, then transfer them to my flash card, have several books on the card now, but, I also copy the files to a directory on the PC after downloading. I set Internet Explorer up according to directions on the site so that the books do not open, just download to the PC.
Of course, I have not tried using the BN, since I have DSL and have not gotten a network card for it--I was going to do that this summer, however, when I heard wireless connectivity was coming have decided to wait until that is available then see what I need.

I have duxbury, so I can't translate them to text if I want to read on the PC. Later, I'm going to copy them to the flash card and put them into the books folder on the BN, so I can then use the flash card for some MP3 files. If that makes sense. But I'm still looking for books on the web braille site. Having the time of my life!

Put brf extensions at the end of each volume and you are set. I usually download on to my computer with windows key e. then simply go in to my computer, h for hard drive because that is how I labled it then d for documents and settings then m for Mary Ellen then M for my documents then I locate the file of the book, press space to select, I usually do a control C. to copy to the clipboard. Then I hit another windows e for my computer and arrow down to the flash card usually it is called something like local disk E so I sometimes put an L. Then I go into my books folder with a b and then open that, tab over to the file list and do a control V. to paste the book into the microdrive or flash card. This way, if you should have a corrupted flash card, you still have the book on the pc and if you have Kurzweil and I am not sure if open book does this but if you have Kurzweil that program illegedly will allow you to read the brf foremat on the computer. That is how I do web Braille.. It sounds like a lengthy process but once you get the hang of it it is actually quicker than active sync. Mary Ellen Earls Remember!
