You need to have your regional library sign you up for the NLS Web-Braille
service. Contact your regional library staff and tell them you're interested
and they can take it from there. Until you've been registered, you can't
access the site, as it requires a login ID and password.

Hello Dave:
I'm assuming that one can go to the NLS web site and download braille
magazines to be read by the Book Port. I've gone to the National Library
Service web site. I don't find where one would download a magazine. Can
you give me some directions on this?

Hi Rich!
You don't transfer the MP3 files. But instead, you transfer the OPF file
from the magazine issue folder. When you send the OPF file to bookport, the
dialogue will open allowing you to specify the range of the magazine you
want to transfer, depending on the amount of space available. Just tab
through the dialogue and select the range you want, ending with the send
button. Your computer will then begin to beep as the book information is
compiled and then the file is sent to the bookport. Eventually, you will
notice the beeps are rising in pitch. That is letting you know that the file
is being sent, and the entire process may take several minutes.
When you have transferred the magazine through this process, all navigation
features will work well for you.
Cheers,
Dave
