Sherry, you don't have to transfer all the books to the my books folder on your flash disk to be able to read them on the bn and you would in any event probably not have sufficient space on the flash disk. I have however found that it saves battery power if one does not keep the cf card in the unit all the time. What I do, is to transfer only one or two books at a time to the flash disk, where I read them, but you can just as well open and read them on the cf card if you find it more convenient.

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!
