Actually, this question deals with using NFB NewsLine In Your Pocket software to download newspapers and magazines from NFB NewsLine. Unfortunately, although this software supports the Icon and Braille Plus, it does not appear to give the user the option of where these newspapers and magazines get downloaded onto your machine, and for the Icon/BP, it downloads them to the Books directory. I would imagine the only fix for this would be an update to the NFB NewssLine In Your Pocket software, which would have to be done by NFB. Other than that, I don't think there's much you can do about it, other than to download your reading material in another way, or remember to move them to the Periodicles folder before you unplug your Icon/BP from your PC.


Hope this helps. Sorry I don't have a really good fix for the problem, but that's how things are to the best of my knowledge. Happy reading!

Hello:

I'm not sure I understand, but it sounds like you are not downloading them to the periodicals folder. If you do that, they will show up in the the same place as the bookshare mags and newspapers. Why not try that?

The periodicals folder is in the library folder.

Is there any setting that can be changed to have the newspapers & magazines
from NFB NewsLine in your pocket be loaded to the newspaper/magazine  area
on the Braille Plus, instead of being loaded into the option for books?

If you have several books loaded you have to scroll down through all of them
to find the newspapers & magazines to remove them every few days. It would
seem a much better location to have them load to the place where BookShare
magazines are loaded. At least for me I have fewer newspapers & magazines
loaded than books. It would sure make cleanup easier.


Thanks,
Pamela
