The easiest way to download web braille books with a PC is to use the "save as" command. When you are on a link of a volume, don't press enter. Instead, press the context key and arrow down to "save as". Then press enter. You will see a combo edit box with the file name and a .brf extension. You can type a new name with a .brf extension and you can even type the drive. Example, e:\books\booknamev01.brf if you want to save it to your compact flash card.
Go to the next volume and do the same thing. Now, insert the CF card into the BN and you're set to go. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
