I don't use bookshare. I use M IRC, so I iether get books in .doc, .txt, .rtf, or .html.


thanks

Have a good day from Tyler C. Wood!

What's done is done, but in the future, why not transfer any bookshare books as .brf. That way you avoid the .html hastle. It saves memory, too. ----- source message -----

I'm hoping it will, I might start crying if not, <grins>. I guess I should have thought about that, but stil, the main thing that bugs me is the html
issue, where I have to use internet explorer to transfer the files - I've
got a lot of html files, and that's mainly what would slow me down. Its not so much the books being put on my hard drive, just using IE to put the html
books back on the unit might be a bit time consuming and such.

thanks,
