The problem with placing Bookshare books in the text folder is that they
lose their navigability. I ordinarily place them there myself just as an easy
way to seperate them from NLS and RFB&D books. I usually read a book from
start to finish anyway, so I did not consider the loss of navigability much of
a loss. However, in the Bookshare book I am currently on there was
something I wanted to go back to check and I just decided to not bother because
it
would have been a bit too much trouble. If I had placed it in the DTB folder
it would have been hardly any trouble at all.

Hi, Lynn, I want to tell you what I do with SD cards on the Stream. Even
though the Stream may not recognize them, you can if you wish create
sub-folders
on your VRDTB main folder. I say this because of my particular mindset. I
made three main headings: fiction from NLS, non-fiction from NLS and
magazines
from NLS. Within the non-fiction and fiction folders, I have genre folders,
e.g. cookbooks, psychology, romance, mystery, etc. Are you downloading
Bookshare
files in Daisy format or as brf files? If you are downloading your stuff
from Bookshare files in brf, you can place them in your text files folder. I
don't
see why you can't specify a folder as books from Bookshare. The main
difference will be in what format you download Bookshare files. On the
BookSense,
you would place Daisy files from RFBandD, Bookshare, and NLS on one folder
called Daisy Books. I don't know what the stream does in this instance.
Also,
you can label your SD cards. If you write a label in the edit field on your
card, the Stream will read the label of your cards. That is another
function
the Humanware Companion will do for you. I hope this helps you in some way.
Regards, Kim.

Hi Kim,
Thanks for all the information.
I have many ... a hundred or so ... Bookshare books on my Stream. I just
didn't know if I should create a separate folder for NLS DTB books.
I Went to the BARD site and downloaded two books, unzipped them, copied
them to my SD card and have read a little in my first NLS book. It sounds
great.
My preferred media is Bookshare, but not everything is available here, so
have to read NLS books as a second option. It's sure nice not to have to move
a bulky cassette recorder around though. *smile*
Blessings.

Hi, Lynn, I am a fellow Stream user. First of all, when you put your SD
card into your Stream, if you look at your menu options (press the 7 key), one
of
the choices you have is "format SD card". When I got my Stream, I was told
to connect it to my computer via the USB plug that came with it. I also had
to charge it via the other cord that I put in the surge protector. If you
put your SD card in your Stream, it will format your card for you with
folders
designated VR audible, VR DTB, etc. I also should tell you the only thing
you'll hear when the Stream is on is "Stream connected". You can't listen to
your books if the USB plug is connected to your computer. (lesson 1-1/2). I
don't know if you plan to use the Humanware Companion or not. I use it to
transfer
books from NLS from my Documents folder on the desktop to my Stream.Some
folks use it and I think if you don't want to do this, You can unzip your
downloaded
files and do a cut-and-paste job and the file will be in the proper folder.
I suppose you can leave the file zipped and the Stream will open the file
for
you. If you wish me to go into excruciating details filled with anecdotes,
I'd be happy to oblige you. Remember, I'm a non-technogeek-type person so I
can translate stuff into my own words and hopefully you will be informed or
at least have a good laugh. Regards, Kim.

Hello Everyone!
Sorry to ask my question here, but I know many of you are Stream users, and
I don't really want to subscribe to the Stream discussion list.
I just received my Stream user key for NLS books and have installed it on
my Stream.
My question is: When I download my first NLS book, will the Stream
automatically create an NLS folder on my Stream or do I have to create it
myself?
Thank you.
Blessings.
Lynn I
