Do you have a computer? As already mentioned you'll need a computer to
download and unzip books to validate them. The BrailleNote can only open
braille files of books that are already in the bookshare collection. That
is because the capability of reading BKS packed books was built in to the
book reader.
I also wouldn't think it was any fun to look at the step 1 download page
with your BrailleNote browser. That page is enormas and it takes forever
even on a computer with broadband. It's also helpful to open the download
link for each book you are considering validating in a new window to look
at it's quality, the synopses, and any submitters comments. I know that is
easy with Internet Explorer where you can just hit shift-enter on any link
to open in a new Window. I don't know how that goes with the BrailleNote,
but if you can't open the zip files on it you might as well use your
computer to get them to save a huge hassle of transfering files back and
forth.
I'll probably be able to provide you with more help in a couple weeks, but
right now I don't have an ethernet card for my BrailleNote MPower, so I
haven't started using it's browser and haven't edited a book on a
BrailleNote in a while.
I do know that editing most books on it will work just fine, and you can
use the braille note to upload them after validation. Zipping is allowed
before upload, but by no means required.
Just for safety, I would advise keeping a backup copy of any book you
validate on your computer because every once in a while something goes
wrong and you'll want to start fresh.

Hi Everyone, Well I guess I get to display my ignorance again. I can't find the following titles I submitted anywhere on any list. 1. Above and beyond,2. Trial by fire, 3. faith by L. deighton, and five or more by Dale Brown, including fourr of the Dreamland series. I am probably not looking in the right place of something like that. Five of these have been out for a very long time. They were out for editing for a long time and now aren't even on that list. If anyone sees my little lost books, please let me know. email direct if you wish, tjhawk1@xxxxxxxxxxx Thanks a bunch, TomTo unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to
