Sherry, if you have a USB card reader, it's very easy to transfer books from your pc to the cf card and wonderful to be able to carry a whole library around with you. I cannot download from the web Braille site, because I'm a South-African and prohibited to do so due to copyright issues, but I have about five hundred books on a cf card. I never use that talk facility to calibrate my battery either, I just read books to run it down. If one has the option, I think it's still better to download from the sites with a pc, due to the fact that our present version of keyweb isn't that stable yet.

The friend I'm going to visit is considering buying a BN, so I want to be able to show her how she can read books on it. so, it's motivating me to try things I haven't bothered to do yet. Wish me luck.

(Grin) Let's see now, how do I turn this thing on? (Grin again) The last time I flew, not only was it great to have all my books in Braille, but all my mp3s to listen to as well. And then there was the annoyance of not having any alcoholic beverages at all served on the plane. I didn't care, but the person behind me was whining the whole time about how nervous she was and how much she wished for something to read to distract her from plane panic. Lucky me, I had my BrailleNote. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Isaac Obie Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 3:53 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] flying with a flash memory card Sherry, I'll settle for two double whiskey sours! I'll be fast asleep then. I won't be able to read the web-braille. <grin> Isaac On Thu, 21 Oct 2004, Sherry Gomes wrote: > Me either, but there isn't any other way, so I have to.
