Yes, it's a great idea! If I only wanted them on the flash card, I'd have done it that way. But since I want them on the PC, too, I have to go in my books folder this morning and organize the ones I want, checking how big the files are, so I can get maximum use of the BN memory. Or the flash card memory. I may not bother to bring any MP3 files with me, so I can have more room for books.
Thanks to everyone whose helped with this. It's going to be so fun for me to sit on the plane and read. I do also have audible.com and will have my little player for those books, but it's often hard to hear on a plane, even with headphones. besides, I get nervous that I can't hear my dog's movements. so being able to read braille will be wonderful I don't know why i've never tried it before. i've had my BN for about four years now. Just never occurred to me I guess.
