Well, I think you're all so lucky to be able to become members of this service at all. We kiwis are only able to read the public dom'in books. I hope we can start something like this in our country sometime soon. I am a new member. I got my braillenote, about a month ago. I've downloded a book, and I was just so amazed at how I could have a book available in a tiny machine, rather than in huge heavy volumes. Talk about portable. Anyway, I guess I'm a little behind. You all sound like you've been downloding for quite a while.
