Hi David and list!

Yep that's what I'd do. That is, get them on the Icon using it's RSS reader. After all, that's what it's there for, or so I thought.

Cheers,
Dave

I prefer getting them on the Braille+.
However, the most common problem is NFB Newsline not getting them
transferred to BookShare.  The next most common problem is that the
Newspaper itself doesn't send NFB Newsline the files, in which case it
doesn't matter if you get them via e-mail or try getting them from
BookShare.
For example, the Oregonian often doesn't send them the Sunday newspaper
until Monday or Tuesday.  Isn't that useful.
And, as in today again, NFB Newsline is apparently having trouble
transferring the New York Times Sunday.  At least, it was there at 8:00 AM
Pacific Time.

more trouble than it's worth.  I say this because I have heard that
there is some problem with the papapers.  Do you get them in email?
I'd rather get them via rss or the web.

You can self-subscribe for newspapers via E-mail at the NFB Newsline web

as the
person is already a Newsline subscriber, you can fill out the form at
the
following link and you will start getting the newspapers via e-mail once
they've verified your eligibility.

I know this is probably a more tedious process, but what you might try
is to
sign up for Daisy newspapers to be sent to you through email.  That
way, if
the bookshare thing isn't working, you'll have something to fall back
on.
