Hey Jonathan, Darn! and I thought that if I got the gps with the bn, they'd let me drive! Shucks; oh well. I myself love reading bookshare books on the bn and nls as well. I find that Bookshare has a greater veriety of books than Nls sometimes. There are some books that they have on tape but not in web braille. I have at least 3 cf cards full of books, and when I go somewhere where I know i might have to sit around for a while such as a doctor's office, I just take the Bn, turn off speech and read away. By the way, I know you can turn off automatic speech when turning on the bn with dot 3 while turning on the unit, (I have a braille keyboard on my bn) but is there a way to turn the speech on when turning on the unit again? Dot 6 doesn't appear to do it.
Richard, enjoying the bn >----- Original Message ----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Braillenote List <[email protected] >Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 14:15:02 +1200 >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] media player and audio books >Hi Sherry, I listen to a lot of audio books on the BrailleNote while doing >all the flying I have to do.
