I hadn't tried downloading Bookshare books to the Stream yet.  I thought there 
were problems with that, glad to know there aren't.  I hadn't used the 
Companion software either, didn't see the need to.

  Thanks for the thanks. It's about time someone here had something nice to say 
to me for a change.

  When I got my Stream I had trouble too, and everyone here was telling me not 
to use the Stream. I think I know why. When one gets used to doing something a 
certain way over a very long time it seems really easy and if another way comes 
along that might have more steps to it then the new way seems cumbersome, and 
it probably is cumbersome for someone who is really good at doing it the other 
way. I, however, was new to transferring files. The companion may have more 
steps to using it, but everything is laid out in a logical way and labeled 
well. That makes it easier for me than the way they were trying to teach me. In 
fact, I never did learn the way they were trying to teach me. I now don't use 
the companion for every transfer I make to the Stream because for some things, 
like the NLS downloads, I can just follow the prompts and download directly to 
the SD card, but for Bookshare books it really is the best solution for me.

  Roger, 

  Thanks for this e-mail regarding where to put files with the Victor Reader.  
After many hours of trial and error and rereading your e-mail, plus the user's
  guide, I've finally been successful at transferring a book.  Using Stream 
Companion, it is easier and now, it works.  I'm off to read now but wanted to
  send this input.   

  -Diane

  The problem with the Victor Reader sounds like it might be that you are not 
getting the file in the right folder. Are you using the Stream Companion?  If
  not, try it out and put Bookshare files only in the text folder, or if you do 
not want to use the Companion then still be sure that you are getting them
  in that folder.

  Hello,

  I'm a new member so forgive me writing under this subject but it all falls 
  into problems with the new site I guess.

  I'm having all kinds of trouble at this point  I must say, I have an older 
  BrailleNote which until now, has worked great.  Now, when I copy the files I 
  can't read them and the older books I haven't read yet I'm getting a dialog 
  of "invalid password" and I know the password is correct as it's accepted 
  when I log into Bookshare.

  The second problem is I just purchased a Victor Reader and when i download 
  books, I can get them on the card in the card reader but when I insert the 
  card into the player it doesn't locate the file at all.  I'm sure it's 
  something I'm doing wrong but can't figure out what.

  I'd be so grateful if someone can help me get back to reading again.  I'm 
  going crazy.

  Thanks for the list and I hope someday I will be able to help someone else 
  out as well.

  -Diane Hubbard
