richard,,, the Braillenote PK has usb port. that is the only braillenote at present with usb. I stated that neither 5.1 nor 6.1 has usb support as far as I know. but the braillenote PK has USB. I stated that USB support on a computer is good because it allows the bn users to transfer large amounts of files easily. this is what I am saying. this is what's relevant to this list. the ability to move files from your PC to your flash cards so you can use them on your braillenote.
