Re: [Blind-Computing] download dilemma
Although I download books on a regular basis, I use a flash drive. I would think you could just connect the cartridge to your computer and delete one of the copies.

When I open the file for reading, I'll have two copies of the book automatically. This will take me out of the limits of the cartridge, even though it was totally empty, prior to download. How do I surcomvent this problem? My cartridge appears to have a capacity of 45 hours, or minutes shorter.

Re: [Blind-Computing] download dilemma
I've been doint exactly that. However: If the two copies, collectively, take me out of the car tridge confines, It stops downloading. Is there a way of not getting that second copy by default? Also: is there a keyboard command that would tell me how many hours a cartridge offers?

Re: [Blind-Computing] download dilemma
Cliff, I'm not sure I understand your message. Why would you have two copies of one book. If you mean the zip file and the unzipped result, the zip should be quite a bit smaller than the opened files where total bites are concerned. What you can do is this. 1. Copy the zipped file into a folder on your computer's hard drive. 2. Press the Applications key while focused on that zip file so that you can locate the command to extract the files. 3. After all of the files have been extracted, delete the zip file, itself. 4. Copy all of the remaining files onto your flash drive. That should give you only the minimum needed to run that book in your digital player.
