Maybe DB is just Digital book.
beI did a quick search on my Bard mobile app. When I searched for a braille
title it had it but said to get support from Wolfner. So I suppose if I want
hard copy I would need to go to the Wolfner site to reserve it. I have digital
braille books that I can read from my i-phone and a braille display. Any
display that would pair with the phone should work. I think I had to switch
from 8 dot mode to 6 dot mode to read it last time.
When you talk to Wolfner ask them if they have a braille reader that you could
borrow. It's a braille display without aPerkins keyboard. I don't know if all
the libraries have that yet.
If not, the Orbit Reader 20 may be an option. It sells at Maxi Aids for $99.
Here is a link to the new Orbit products:

The Braille Me may also work:

through and saw that Aard is an acronym: Braille and Audio Reading Download.
I learned somewhing new tonight.
I did a quick search on Wolfner to remind myself what the abbreviations mean
before the books. DB is digital braille and BR is hardcopy braille. After
the BR books it will tell you how many volumes it has.
Best,

ordering. I guess I thought BARD *was Wolfner. I thought this because
I recently searched for a book and it wasn't available in audio but
had two listings under Braille with two different BR numbers. When I
emailed Wolfner to inquire, she said one was for digital and one for
physical Braille, so I just assumed the whole BARD site was listed
that way. It had been years since I read an actual Braille book, and I
enjoyed it more than I realized so wanted to order another.

Ithought Bard was only digital download. If you want a hard copy braille
book you sign into your State's Talking Book library. So for MO it's
Wolfner.
When I search on Wolfner ic narrow down my search and check the box for
hard copy braille.

How do I know which titles are available in physical Braille and not
digital download? Is there something in the BR number that denotes
this?
