Hi Will,
Do you have a large thumb drive that works with your icon? If so, you will
want to follow these steps to copy your library/books folder to that drive
so that you have a copy.
1. Open file explorer by pressing 62 from the applications menu.
2. Press right arrow to open the hard drive.
3. Type "l" or down arrow until you get to Library.
4. Press right arrow to open the library folder.
5. The first option you should find is books. Press 0+select to select all
the files in this folder. If you have a lot of books, this may take awhile.
6. Now, left arrow until you get to the drives list. Open the drive you want
to move the books to.
7. Pres the menu key to get to the menu, and then choose copy selected.
This will make a copy of all your books on your external drive.
If you do not have a drive you want to move the books too, then hook your
Icon to your computer, you can use either disk drive mode or access your
Icon wirelessly over the network if you know how to do that. On your
computer, find your Icon, then choose library, then books. Once you have
your cursor on the books folder, press ctrl+c to copy the folder. Move to
some place else on your computer where you want to have the backup, and
press ctrl+v to paste the copy of the folder. Let me know if this doesn't
make sense, or if you have a different way of backing up.
As far as NLS BARD, the Icon and Braille Plus work very very well with books
from that service. Are you already a member of NLS? If so, just go to:
http://nlsbard.loc.gov/
On that page, find the link that says "BARD Application Instructions". This
page will get you on your way to signing up. Once you have your username and
password, log in at the same link above. Once you have logged in, find the
link that says update account settings. Then find the link that says add a
purchased player. ON that page, you will see a combo box. Choose either APH
Braille Plus Mobile Manager, or LevelStar Icon. Press enter and you will
soon hear from LevelStar or APH with your key information.
Thanks,
Chase Crispin

Subject: [icon Discussions] Back at new email location with questions
I recently moved to this address and just got re-subscribed. I am fairly
new to the Icon but love this unit. My first question involves making a
backup of my growing book collection from Bookshare--what is the
easiest/best way to make a copy of these books I have been putting on the
Icon?
The next question involves NLS service. I haven't yet signed up for the
NLS Bard service and wonder how I should proceed and wonder how well the
Icon works with NLS's Bard service? Any answers appreciated!
Will
