Malaina is correct here. Somehow I forgot the subject line and
launched into Book Share books instead of RFB&D books. My bad!
I doubt very much you could load any kind of RFB&D book onto the
flash disc in the braille note. I have not used RFB&D for ten or
fifteen years, so can't really say much about how to use their
files. Sorry about that.

There is not enough space on the bn tself to download an rfb
book. They are audio not text like bookshare books. I wouldn't
try downloading a rf book on to the flash drive of the bn.

If you are talking about the flash drive in your BN, it depends
on the size of the book and how much space you have free on the
flash drive. I have seen some of the Book Share books that
appeared to be a few megabytes. If you download them to the flash
drive and unpack them to the flash drive, then space could be an
issue if your drive is fairly full. This is usually less of an
issue with other flash memory sticks or cards because most of
them now contain multiple gigabytes of storage space.

Does anyone know if you can download RFBD books directly on to a
flashdrive using the BN?
