Sharonda, The size was my own recommendation (you can buy any CompactFlash or SD card, but the recommended capacity is between 128 MB and 1 GB). .dxb files will not work (you can save it as a brf file after importing it with Duxbury).

I think I got it now, thanks to all the posts. I can buy any SD or compact flash card no higher than 1GB. I will also need a card reader. Or I could use a thumb drive like a Sandisk. I got the bookshare info down already. Thanks for all the help and clarification. I got so excited about this, I didn't formulate my question correctly. Ok, if I had some book that wasn't in BRF format, could I use the Duxbury format and save that to a thumb drive or a card? Could this be read by the BrailleNote as well? I hope you all aren't tired of me. Thanks for all of your responsiveness.
