Hi, Rick. I also have an M40. I also have two SanDisk cards. One is a 128MB
and the other is a 1GB. I don't have a SanDisk reader. I don't know what
brand mine is, but it also takes SD cards and memory sticks, so it's a
multi-reader. For me, I unpack my books on my computer and just copy them
over to the card as is. I copy them to my unit and read that way, because
I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my books so I like to have them in a
form where I can edit them as I come across any errors. Then, they get
copied back to my computer after I read them and eventually burned onto CD,
because I keep all of my books. Take care.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] BLT and Bookshare
Hi everyone,
The way it works with me is this. I have a Braille Lite Millennium 40.
That M20 and M40 are the only units with compact flash card ports. They are
fussy about the cards they will take. My drive and cards are Sandisk. One
card is 512mb and the other is 128mb.
I have a Sandisk card reader connected to my computer that is drive E:. I
have various folders on both the computer and drive for certain types of
reading material. News has newspapers. Non and Fiction are
self-explanatory.
On the card itself, I have more folders.
I prefer to use the command prompt to copy onto the compact flash card. In
the case of Bookshare books, I don't unpack them to the CF drive because
apparently, they are Unix files, and the BLT only see a linefeed, not a
carriage return. I solve this problem by putting them into a text editor
and resaving them.
I generally save names to something shorter. The Braille Lites don't like
some of those long Bookshare names.
