Good morning,

 

My son is 11 yo and has been using his Bookport mainly for listening to
music and a few stories.  I have recently signed him up for BookShare.org
and we downloaded the first file this morning.  We downloaded a .BRF file
and copied it to a CF card using a flash card reader/writer.  When I
attempted to start the file I got a message that said "Playing unfiltered
files not supported"  I thought that perhaps I needed to use the Bookport
transfer software so I deleted the file and reloaded it using that.  I got
the copyright warning file fine, but I still can't access the book file and
get the same message.  This has happened in the past when we have
transferred stories that were written on the BrailleNote and stored in .BRF
format.  We are hoping to be able to store the files on a CF card so that
they can be read using the refreshable display on the BrailleNote and
listened to on the Bookport.

 

Are .BRF files not allowed?  To do what we want will I have to store two
versions, a .BRF for the BrailleNote and a Daisy file for the Bookport?  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Blue Skies,

Dave
