Hello, Friends,
I thought I would chime in on this subject as well. Since I use the
BrailleNote or Voicenote, I either download onto the machine itself or, more
of late, onto a compact flash card. In that way, I can read from either
machine just by moving the card. I have not been keeping the boks after
reading, though I suppose I could. I always figure I can go back to
Bookshare and get them again if I want.
I would be interested in figuring out just how I could read on my laptop,
and you all have discussed this on list. I suppose I could put my Kurzweil
program on here to open books on here that way and actualy wouldn't mind
having my scanner able to work with this machine as wel. Since I am
retired, I prefer to sit in my easy chair to read, not at my desk. Besides,
in a pinch, my scanner is flat enough that I believe I c ould place it in a
case with my laptop to read away from home if that became necessary,
particularly for things one might do at a library using reference books one
can't take out of the library.
I just wish I had had all of these wonderful things when I was in college.
Dianne and
Guide Dog, Primrose

Hi Debra,
I save my books onto a compact flash card. I separate all my books by
author. I can then pop my compact card into my MPower and read from there.
I don't read off of the desk top. Also this way I always have my library
with me, wherever I go.
Also for some management, I keep a file on my desk top, just a listing of
authors and their books listed under their name. I star the author's name
and simply list the book titles under the name.
Hope this helps.
Bertha

I was wondering several things.....
Sometimes I get into a download frenzy........and don't count how many
downloads I've done. I know there is a 100 book limit per month; is
there some sort of counter to keep track or what?
I know there has to be a better or rather more efficient way to store
books. Right now I download into a desktop file called BookShare. I must
have over 300 books in there; all jumbled together with no rhyme or
reason. I used to take great pride in how neat my bookshelves were when
I had print books lined up on my bookshelves, categorized by author and
subjects. Any suggestions whould be greatly appreciated.
Debra
