Hi Alex I also got a sighted person to check the Gutenberg website out and he said that it's not very user-friendly.
I know that this list is not the place to bag websites, but if some work-arounds could be made for this website for BN users by HumanWare, it would be great. I have no idea who to contact with my actual opinions for re-vamping the site itself, so hoped that his approach might be a good compromise. As I said, I can use the e-library tool when downloading from my PC, but would much prefer to use my BN wherever possible.

When I tried to open a dictionary, it froze not only my BN, but my PC as well. I just had a sighted friend with a lot of time on his hands do it, and he eventually got my dictionary. The problem was it was almost 40 mb in size, obviously making it unusable on the BN.
