[nabs-l] VR stream pros and cons

[Beth]

There are no additional charges to download the Daisy books.  You
download books onto your hard drive, then from a certain folder on
your hard drive, what I do is copy the file I want, which is a folder,
onto the little card which can be commercially bought.  It's a high
capacity SD card.  Also, I have a SD card reader on my computer, which
makes it a lot easier to handle the SD card thing.
