Yes, Lana, you can read the card in the compact flash card reader if you
want to stay at your computer. Or you can put it in the slot in the back of
your Braille-Lite after the books have been downloaded. You just use the
cable that comes with your compact flash reader to hook it to a port on your
computer.

good idea. the problem is finding my serial port cable, which found itself
a safe place when I moved.
Doubt you can buy them any more, but I do have a card. Will a Braille lite
formatted card play in a commercially purchased card reader?

There is a program called windisk on the freedomscientific.com site.
Install that program and when the braillelite is connected through a
serial port it will be seen as a nother drive on you computer. More
correctly speaking, on My Computer or Windows Explorer.
