Hi Lisa,

One way to handle this is to download it in Daisy format and then convert the 
html to brf.  you could then place that brf on your braille device.

I hope this helps.

  I wish there was a way for the Bookshare system to keep track of the books 
we've downloaded so that if we re-download them, it would not count against our 
100 book limit.  For example, I will sometimes download a long book in brf 
format for reading on my BrailleNote and in Daisy to read on the Icon or PC.  
Needless to say, if I do too much of this, it really eats up my book limit 
quickly.

    I'm just curious to know why there is a hundred book limit for downloads 
for a month?  I have downloaded a hundred books, mainly due to starting a new 
job and wanting to read up on a few issues related to my job.  I am just 
curious why this rule is in place.  Also, I wrote to the address to get my book 
limit extended, and the bookshare system, or a mailer system, said there was a 
delay in delivery.  I'm just curious about all this.
    Thanks, any explanation on this would be great.
