Hi john, The book reader is simply a read only mechanism for documents that you can normally work with in the Word processor, in other words, a way to read a document without accidentally altering its contents. You can read books that are in file formats supported by the Braillenote, but you can't read books that are in proprietary formats such as books from Audible.com. At this time, the Braillenote cannot read DAISY formatted books, but you can download and read books from Bookshare and NLS Web Braille.
