Hi Mike, Alex and all, I tried the site on the BrailleNote, and the only concern i have with it is that when I tried to upload and convert the file, it said: "Upload a file before trying to convert". I uploaded a file as I normally would, by clicking the browse button and selecting the file, and the name of the file did show up in the edit field, but when I selected the file format I wanted to convert to and pressed the Convert button, it gave me that error message. WEIRD!
