Sharonda, If you wish, you can buy any CompactFlash or Secure Digital cards at any electronics store (I would recommend cards between 128 MB and 1 GB). And there are many USB devices that should work as well. The Bookshare unpack utility for PC can be found at the Bookshare website. One more thing: you need to purchase the Bookshare membership in order to download copyrighted materials.

This was the answer to my question. Is there some particular kind that I need of the card or drive? Will whatever I buy work? Sorry for multiple questions. I'm just determined to put my wonderful unit to the most use. Thanks for all help.

In order to download a bookshare file or any file form the Internet, you need to estably an Internet Connection via USB, serial, InfraRed, or Bluetooth (on your case, Wired or Wireless ethernet). You can download any version or a book, but we recommend brf version. Yes, in order to perform the last thing that you've asked, you need to more things: a Flash memory card (CF, SD, or whatever) or an external USB device (hard drive, floppy drive, key or thumb drive or whatever you can afford) plus Bookshare unpack utility from Bookshare's website (this is essentially a PC version or the bookshare unpack utility). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharonda Greenlaw Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 7:13 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Questions about Bookshare So there is no drive that I can buy that I can connect to my computer and download from Bookshare then connect this drive to my braillenote? I'm waiting for my wireless card. But for now, I wanted to see what I could do. Thanks.
