Thanks Richard. Sorry you have a cold. At least you hope that's what it is. Truthfully, I don't quite know how to access files on an SD Card with the Orbit Reader. I've removed it when using the Orbit Reader with my iPhone. Stand alone mode seems confusing, and I don't have any way to get files off my phone and on to an SD card, though I know reading the church bulletin would be easier with just the Orbit, so I really must investigate this since I have several SD cards with text files on them that I have used with the BrailleEdge 40. I look forward to chatting with you by phone or e-mail when you feel better. Meantime, get well and stay hydrated.
