Hi, Sue. There are a lot of people who get the brf files from
Bookshare and Web Braille who can hear audio. The reason the Stream
will help Braille users is that it can read those files now, so
Braille users no longer have to get the daisy files from Bookshare if
they want to use the Stream. Until now, if you wanted to read a
Bookshare file on both your BrailleNote and the Stream, you had to
download both the brf and daisy formats of that book. That is a sort
of cumbersome process. Now Bookshare users can download the brf files
from Bookshare and use them on the Stream if they're in the mood to
listen instead of read. It saves space on our memory cards for both
the Stream and Book Port because Braille files are smaller than daisy
ones. So sometimes people like me who don't own a Braille device
download the brf files too.
