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?
