hI jAKE, fOR A bRAILLE ONLY USER, BOOKS ARE MUCH EASIER TO READ IN THE BRF OR CONTRACTED VERSION COMMONLY KNOWN AS gRADE ii. aND YES, i HAVE A COMPACT FLASH THAT I read on my Braille Lite m40. First, on my old computer, I downloaded them and unpacked them using the bookshare.org unpack utility. So I am wondering why my new DSL computer will not open the book.

What kind of program normally opens with BRF books? I'm also a little curious. I take it that you are downloading the BRF version to your computer and then using your Braille display to read it? If you're not using a notetaker, is there some advantage to doing this as aposed to downloading the DAISY format and opening it in Internet Explorer and having your Braille display translate as you read?

It is DSL and does not want me to open brf files after I download them. I can unpack them, but when I want to open the book it does not like that. What shall I do? Grace, just in case you have tried to post to me about To Catch a Golden Ring, I do have msword and am still interested in validating it.
