[nabs-l] Textbooks

[vejas]

You can download textbooks off Bookshare site, and even e-mail 
bookshare to request a textbook you need.  DAISY and BRF are the 
main types of documents it supports, so in your situation, for 
the Victor Stream, DAISY would probably be the better option.  
Although sometimes, but rarely, you can download books in HTML 
and text.

Yes you can save them either in a word document or txt document.
And load them on to an sd card

 Good question.
 I think the VR stream is doable, but not sure what format you 
need to save to in order to read on vr stream.

 Another question.
 If my DSS office gives me electronic material, that I read on 
the PC and with jaws, how can I read them on my braille Note?
 Do I just save the files to the PC, then save from the PC to the 
thumb drive or sd card?

 Thanks.
 Ashley

 Hello all,
 I'm hoping someone will have the answer to my questions, anyway 
here goes.  I receive my college textbooks on CD, my DS office 
makes them with approval from the book publishers.  I can read 
theses CDs on my computer with windows eyes but I would also like 
to be able to use my textbooks on my iPad and victor reader 
stream as well.  Does anyone know how I would go about 
transferring the files from the CDs to each of these devices or 
if it can even be done?

 Thanks in advance,
 Angela Dehart
