This is Joseph. I'm not sure about the first problem, but on the second problem, let me explain a little. Computers use what is called Byte to define a character. And there are many levels of bytes, just like a metric system system for measurement. A KB, short for KiloByte, is a unit of computer storage of 1024 bytes, or characters. If the book is about 211K in size, that means that the book is about 211,000 characters or so. A MegaByte (MB) is a unit of computer storage of 1048576 characters, or roughly 1 million characters. For the storage card, you don't need a 1 GB card in order to download a book. You can do it whit any of the storage cards out there. Be sure to save the file with the file name that you can remember. Also, be careful where you are saving a file. I hope this information may help you.

I'm not sure if I should be addressing this mesage to the Humanware Staff or the List! All I can say is that I really would apprecaite some help! Since KS7.0 was installed, I've had to relearn a great deal of proceedures I followed in the past; and, try to cope with new and unfamiliar things. First, I was replying to a message from a dear lady on the BN List. It was long and I wanted to put it into the Draft Folder until I could finish it. I used Control + s to Save it. What happened next has me stumped. Instead of the usual process, it M-Power display read: "tem.txt." I've searched for a week, but cannot find my work! Next, I've been using CF cards since purchasing my Classic BN. Until today, I had no problem with the M-Power and KS7.0. However, I was only downloading for Web-Braille and cannot download from Books as I usually do. the problem is that the "bytes" have changed and I don't understand them! For instance, what is "KB?" (The card I used had almost 500 MB free. The file I wanted to download had 211 kb!) Nowhere in the M-Power Manual can I find an explanation of these changes. Is it possible we should only be using GB cards to download books?
