You can do that.
You will need to rename the files to title of book .bks so that you can
unpack.
You can do any format that the Braillenote can handle.
I would do txt, and .rtf, and .brf to start with.
There are a lot of .txt files.
And indeed I suspect you could upload from the BN.
I haven't tried it, as I haven't tried to figure out how to connect to our
DSL modem downstairs.

How about downloading them. Would I just be able to read a text file that I
downloaded on to a card, make my comments and uploadd it from my card? I use
my bn more really than my pc unless I just used jaws I guess. Are the files
all text or could I just read them in that form if that is easiest? I think
i might like to validate, just trying to figure how to do it. I use the
braille note to unpack everything so am not even sure i have a zip utility
on my pc.
