Hi, Ana, and if you have a device such as the VR Stream and/or a Braille display (or as in my case, a Braille notetaker that can stand alone or work as a Braille display when hooked up to the computer) you have two libraries of books for your perusal. Regards, Kim. -----Original Message----- From: Ana Jacob [mailto:anajacob2@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2010 4:29 PM To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: new books You're certainly not the only one who downloads much faster than you read. I do that all the time. But hey, better to have extra books on hand in case the net goes out or something happens, than to get stuck with no books to read. Now that, to me, would be quite a disappointment. Ana Jacob Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.
