Hi Rita, I can answer this question. No, you will not have to download the books again when you get your notetaker back. I have a compact flash and thus Drive E. It is called removable disc or thumbnail. So I can open my copy of the book that is already on my computer and use "save as" in the file menu. First I go to "save in" and choose Drive E, then tab through the different fields until I get to "save" then press enter. And voila! It is on my compact flash. If you want to transfer it to your notetaker instead of using the slot on the back for the compact flash, someone else will have to tell you how to do that. Smile Happy reading!

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.
