[nfbcs] Downloading Web Braille Books In Windows 7

[Mike Freeman]

Good luck! Windows 8 may well bollix up the way all screen-readers get their
information -- assuming Microsoft doesn't put out a screen-reader of its
own.

But the problem is I E 9, not Windows 7.

     Hello Mike, Ron, and everyone,

     It sounds like Windows 8 might have more stuff on its ribbon. Let me
get a little more used to Windows 7 first. Thanks for your help. 
Mike, I saved your message in two different places so I can refer to it the
next time I try downloading a book. I think a membership to Bookshare is
going to be a Christmas/birthday present to myself from myself.
