Don, I have already subscribed to bookshare. I'm confused about just how to get the book from Bookshare, unpack it, and get it into my Braillenote so I can use the Braillenote to read the book during down times at work. I managed to get the unpack tool on my computer, and I have made several attempts to unpack books but am very confused as to what order to do things in. Bookshare has it in my history that I have downloaded four books. I have only been able to locate two of them on my system. I tried to download some in BRF as I ththink that is what I need if I want to get the Braille version and put it on my Braillenote, but I can't find two of them. So, if you can, will you tell me, step by step what I need to do to download a book and actually have it appear on my Braillenote, beginning with finding the book on Bookshare. Do I have to setup the Braillenote in some way? How do I get the book into the "my books" folder?
Sorry to be so slow, but I really do find this confusing to figure out. Also, do I need to know a lot about computer Braille? I can read some of it and I do have a computer Braille guide I got from the National Braille Press, but I'm not real proficient in it yet. Thanks for responding to my email.
