OK ppl. Here's what I'm reading. If I want to grab a fantasy novel from CNIB library in BRF format and read the thing, I first have to back translate it. But if Louis will back translate the thing, won't it just open up nicely and allow me to read without any palaver? And if you have to back translate to ge access to a brf file, then what is the point of having brf files in the first place?
Maybe I should just stick to doing this on my phone, but I saw a friend of mine using his braille display on his mac and it looked very inspiring. Especially given that snowleppard will support bluetooth conectivity for braille displays. Best, erik burggraaf A+ sertified technician and user support consultant.
