[nabs-l] Fwd: [blindkid] Important Info for Bookshare Users with Braille Notes!

[Loren Wakefield]

Thanks for the heads up.  I was thinking of joining bookshare; and, this
info is good to know ahead of time.  

It would seem to me that they would have fixed this problem before launching
the upgrade.  But, what do I know?  Anyway, thanks.  

Loren

Hello Everyone,

The updated Bookshare website is set to launch next week. While there are
many improvements that will help our members, we are aware of potential bugs
with select partner technologies.

The BrailleNote will not be able to download books directly from Bookshare.
We recommend that you download books from Bookshare prior to our planned
website downtime on Monday, October 27 at 5PM Pacific Time. Afterwards, you
can continue to read Bookshare books by downloading from a separate device
like a computer and transfer them to your BrailleNote.

HumanWare has been notified about this issue, and we are working with them
to find a solution to use our updated website. Thank you for your patience.

Best,
Allison Hilliker
Bookshare Operations Associate
