Hi Richard:
When you registered with NLS to receive braille books, you should have
gotten a link to the page where you indicate your username and password.
Contact your library and have them send it to you. Once you open it, you
might want to add the page to your favorites, because from what I see, it
isn't easy to locate on their site.
However, since you do already have your username and password, you can still
download web braille books even in the absence of this page. For once you
click on a link to a volume of a book you might want to download, the form
asking for your username and password will appear. Once you fill it out,
you'll get the usual form that appears when you're doing web braille
downloads, asking you to agree to the terms they have for accessing these
books. You must first agree to the terms before downloading each volume of
a book. The agreement page has two boxes. One for note taker users and one
for pc users. You'd check the one that's appropriate for you. From there
all you should need to do is decide whether you want to open the file
containing the book or save it. I usually save it.
Before you do all that you might want to make sure that your pc has .brf
listed in the file formats that it can save the files to.
