I didn't know about the download feature in Firefox, cool.
Monica I also do things the way you do, though with a book courier, smile.
The only other thing i can even think of jamie, is to plug your thumb drive
into your PC and do a scan disk or "check for errors" on the drive and see
if it pulls something up.

Also, and probably really stupid, but as a friend did it once, did you check
the "none" folder. Sometimes files end up there if you are copying or
moving them, and neglect to pick a destination. In standard Microsoft these
are the loose files that aren't in their own folder, the Braillenote calls
it NONE.

Hi, Jamie. Your download count for books will start over at 0 on
Monday, September 1st. As for a download histry, Bookshare doesn't
have a section for that. If you use Firefox as your browser, it keeps
a history of downloaded files, and you can right click them and
download them again. I don't know if Internet Explorer has such a
function.
This won't help you right now. It might in the future though, so I
thought I'd share what I do. I download and unpack my books into a
folder on my hard drive. Then I copy books I want to read from that
folder onto my flash card, thumb drive, or my Book Port. It leaves the
books intact on my hard drive so I can get them again if something
weird happens to the copies on my flash drives. It also helps me keep
track of everything I've downloaded in one place, even if I have books
scattered on several different devices. Maybe this could help you too.
I'm sorry to hear about your BrailleNote issue. I don't have any
Braille devices, so I don't have anything helpful to share on that
score.
