Hi and Thanks for all who replied to my E-mail, I faced two problems: 1- the BRf books which I downloaded from http://www.braille.org/ were all of them in grade2. I prefer to read in grade1. Is there books on the web that are in grade1. 2- when I copy a folder that contains several files to the brailleNote, I can't find it but I can see it via my PC when the BrailleNote is connected to it. How can I let the BrailleNote see these folders? Thanks in advance Cheers ----- Original Message ----- From: Van Der Walt Riana To: Khalid ; Braillenote List Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 1:06 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] reading books
Khalid, You should download books in brf or txt format, as the bn cannot handle daisy format. You can also download bookshare zipped files, but then you must either unzip it on your pc before transferring it to the bn, or rename the zipped file on the bn to have a bks extension, to unpack with the bookshare utility, which is installed on your bn. You could also download txt or zipped books from the Gutenberg site, but then rather unzip them on the pc. You can also download from the Braille.org site. I believe you require membership and in some cases specific citizenship to download from other sites, but perhaps someone in the States can comment on that.

For now I can't use the BN with internet, so I'll download the books from the site then paste them in The BN. I don't have any problems in downloading the book to my PC and to paste it in my BN. What I should do before pasting the book to my BN? In which format I should download the books? [DAISY or BRF files]. Is there other sites that I can download book from them?
