[nabs-l] A Question for Braille Display Users

[Alosha Moore]

Hi Chris:
I currently use the braille note apex to read law school books. You are correct about the  size issue. The best method that has worked for me is to chop the books into five mega bite sized pieces and upload them to the apex that way. Hope this helps.
Best, Alosha.

It appears that even a single chapter is too large to open in the Braille Edge's notepad. The Edge gets stuck at 0 percent and requires a reset to get unfrozen. I made due by opening one of the chapters on my computer and using JAWS to read it, but I think the material would be read much more easily with Braille. So, for any students who use a Braille Edge or a similar display, how do you access large files such as textbooks with your Braille display? Perhaps there's a way to do this that I don't know yet. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
