I don't order braille books any longer either, and I don't miss those huge
boxes or trying to get them back to the post office.
I use Web Braille and have almost from its introduction. I have many of
them on my Braille Note so I can take them to the doctor, or read where
speech may be problematic. I probably have about 100 full books on the
Braille note but about 1000 volumes stored on the hard drive of my computer.
That doesn't count the 300 Bookshare books I have in various places.

Rose I put web Braille books on my bookport all the time I like listening to
them and I don't have a lot of large Braille book boxes at my door that are
hard to return. With web Braille you can go back and look for books that
they had years a go that you have forgotten about.
I never order Braille books because they were so hard to return back to
the library.
In Philadelphia they say only ten percent read Braille now with the book
port the number will most likely go up.
Hear is something else to think about you don't need to know Braille to
put a book on your bookport.
