Hi Stacey, I don't know what the limitations of the Braille Lite are since I use a BN, but there are guidelines about what format files need to be in. Most files are in rtf and need to be uploaded as rtf. I seem to remember that the Braille Lite could only work with txt and brf files--is that true of your unit or was that just way in the past? If you can only work with txt files, the best thing would be to choose txt files from the download page. Otherwise, as you said, you can always work on brf files. The thing is, there usually aren't very many brf files. Kellie
