[nfbcs] Software to download DTB

[Jim Barbour]

Tracy, I don't have a good answer for you.  I think that NLS's
philosophy has been that patrons without computer literacy should
order pre-loaded cartridges from their local talking book library.

Denise, Your students, being students, are probably fairly computer
literate. "download book to thumb drive" is a fairly complex step in
your recipe below, especially if you aren't used to using a web
browser. Also, depending on the daisy player, the book needs to be
unzipped and put into a particular folder.

Again, I'd say most of us handle this easily.  However, folks who lack
good computer literacy will have a hard time of it.

Take Care,

Jim
