Yes a Porta Book will fit on a Braille lite. They fit on my Typelite when I had one. And they also have an email feature that you can order through. Shelley L.

Rose, Can you put a porta book on the Braille Lite m40 flash card?? I am not amiliar with those portabook files. I do know it is extremely hard to get info by phone. You keep getting those lovely messages about "I am either away from my desk" etc., and that can add up during the day and on long distance. So I will have to order by snail mail. <lol> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rose Combs" <rosecombs@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2005 6:43 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT. scanning errors in Web Braille books? NBP has a book called WordWise and it is pretty good. I think it is about $20 give or take, it has been a long time since I have read it but I got the porta braille copy and it resides on my Braille Note.

Rose, Where did you get pc word? I need a book on Word, but one where it does not just refer you to Figure so and so. Thanks.

I notice some errors in my copies of PC Word, in hard copy occasionally. It does not cause me a problem reading.

Did you notice where the books came from? One possibility is that they are the jiffy braille books produced in places like NBP and they put a notice in the front of their books that because it's jiffy braille there may be some errors. Just as a possibility anyway.

Hi Pam, I have been noticing that for quite sometime with Web Braille books. And for NLS you are supposed to pass a test to be a proofreader!!! <smile> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Quinn" <quinn.family@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2005 10:41 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT. scanning errors in Web Braille books? I don't know if this is unusual, or if I'm just more tuned into this type of thing now and didn't notice before. But I found some definite scanning errors in a book I was reading from web braille. Did you bum that, instead of did you burn that? And dean laundry, instead of clean laundry. Definite scanner errors. I don't know how I thought NLS books were produced but I didn't really think the originals were scanned. Pam -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
