Hi Lisa,
I have gotten a lot of books from fictionwise.com. The secure formats
are not accessable, but if the book is "multiformat", they are fine.
What I do is get the books in .pdb format, convert those to text,
translate them into braille if I choose and read them on my braille
lite. There are several other formats to choose from too that can be
converted into .txt. As long as you get the multiformat books, you'll
be okay, and they have a huge selection of them. Happy reading.
Pam
