Hi. Oh, I think I have you beat there. I had the same frustrations with
the libaray. Even recently they still kept sending me books for
kids. They permanently got it stuck in their computer that I am always a
kid. It really annoyed me. Anyway, it used to be that I would read a book
sometimes because there wasn't much. Then it got to where I would make
myself wait before reading a new book. Now I don't worry so much about
it. I hardly even bother with NLS now. I always look at bookshare
first. Anyway, I have some Web-Braille files mixed in too but hardly
any. I have two directories, a hold directory for books from last year
which I will probably keep but need to look at and a new directory where
all new books get dumped that I haven't even started looking through
yet. Below are the stats from those directories.
113,243,872 bytes in 218 files and 2 dirs 116,654,080 bytes allocated
104,315,379 bytes in 199 files and 2 dirs 107,347,968 bytes allocated
