I use a Pac Mate, so I don't know if this applies, but I download books to my
PC and then copy them over to my Pac Mate so I can carry them around. So I can
read books by attaching a Braille display to my PC, or transfering a copy to my
Pac Mate both without downloading twice from Bookshare. I would imagine you
should be able to do the same. So when you get your Note Taker, I would guess
that you can just copy the books you already have downloaded over to it, then
download any new books directly to your Note Taker if you want.
If your question was more of a legal nature, I don't think there's anything
illegal about having a copy on your PC and one on a portable device like a Note
Taker or a Pac Mate. If there is, well, then I guess I just admitted publicly
to criminal activity! <grin> I guess I'll find out soon enough whether I'm in
the dock.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] which choice
Hello again
Is there anyone who downloads books in braille on a notetaker and at other
times uses their pc? I was just wondering if there is anyone who does that.
Right now I am downloading the books on to my pc. I will soon be downloading
them on to my notetaker when it comes back.
Do I need to download the books again if I want them for my notetaker even if
they are already on my pc?
Thanks as always for your help as I learn to navigate this exciting new world.
Bookshare is so cool. I never thought a day would come when I would be able
to own lots of books in a format I could use. It was always a dream but one I
didn't think would ever be realized.
Rita and Camille
