Evan and any others who own PAC Mates,
don't forget that you can use the Unpack utility on the PAC Mate and
unpack the book directly to a compact flash card. This would let you get
the books "on the fly" by using WIFI or some other connectivity and
still read them on your pc using a card reader.
Have a great week, all.

I use a Pac Mate, so I don't know if this applies, but I download books
to my PC and then copy them over to my Pac Mate so I can carry them
around. So I can read books by attaching a Braille display to my PC, or
transfering a copy to my Pac Mate both without downloading twice from
Bookshare. I would imagine you should be able to do the same. So when
you get your Note Taker, I would guess that you can just copy the books
you already have downloaded over to it, then download any new books
directly to your Note Taker if you want.
If your question was more of a legal nature, I don't think there's
anything illegal about having a copy on your PC and one on a portable
device like a Note Taker or a Pac Mate. If there is, well, then I guess
I just admitted publicly to criminal activity! <grin> I guess I'll find
out soon enough whether I'm in the dock.

Hello again
Is there anyone who downloads books in braille on a notetaker and at
other times uses their pc? I was just wondering if there is anyone who
does that. Right now I am downloading the books on to my pc. I will
soon be downloading them on to my notetaker when it comes back.
Do I need to download the books again if I want them for my notetaker
even if they are already on my pc?
Thanks as always for your help as I learn to navigate this exciting new
world.
Bookshare is so cool. I never thought a day would come when I would be
able to own lots of books in a format I could use. It was always a
dream but one I didn't think would ever be realized.
Rita and Camille
