That is my feeling too, Rose. If you burn a CD you would be limited as to
where you coullld read. With a flash card on a notetaker you can read
anywhere at any time. Your points are very sensible.

Well, since I am either reading using the computer or the Braille Note,
usually the Braille note, I opt for compact flash cards, then when I am
finished with a book I can delete it or save it on the computer, and
free up space if it is a book I know I will never really want to read
again.
But then, you are talking to a person who has never burned a CD of
anything to date.

Hi Rose and Everyone,
Yes, you are right, now we're discussing the issue of me storing them on
compact flash cards, or CD's. I want to put them on compact Flash cards,
and Vernon thinks I should burn them on CD's.
Oh well, I could also store some of them on a 5 GIG PCMCIA card. I have
2
of them. lol.
The only problem is now I can't find my PCMCIA card reader that I bought
last year.
Thanks.
Pat Ferguson
