Hi Desi.
You just can't get rid of me. (smiles).
When you download books from Bookshare using the Read2Go app, you can
read with either the text to speech or your braille display. The
biggest difference between reading a book with speech and reading it
with braille access is that you cannot get the braille display to keep
scrolling. You have to either activate the next page or next section
button when you run out of space. Space with O will not work on
read2go. Also, once you go to the next section or page, you will need
to hit space with dot 1 to go back in to the text of the book.
Honestly, I've taken to using iBooks or the Kindle app for my braille
reading. Each has it's own process of transferring Bookshare content
in to your chosen app, but both provide a nicer reading experience in
my opinion.
One app I have yet to try is Voice Dream reader. It apparently works
with braille, but has some issues. I will leave that one up to someone
else with more experience to cover if they can.

HTH,
Scott
