[Nfbmt] Library

Hi Ted.  I was referring to the KNFB reader mobile.  It sounds like a mobile
reader.  I purchased a Victor Stream in Baltimore but I can't figure out how
to use it.  I haven't had much time to play around with it.  My gf who has
been helping me with all my technical issues and I started to try to figure
out the victor stream when I came home with it from Baltimore but we got
stuck when trying to sign up for the book share thing and we haven't gotten
back to it yet so I'm not using my victor yet.  As I keep saying, I don't
know how to do so many things on the computer and one of these things I
can't do is download things.  Are you able to download books off of the NLS
site by yourself or does Anna help you?  I assume that since it's for blind
people that it would be an accessable site that would be designed for blind
people to use but I have never looked at it myself.  Randi always does it
for me.  I've always assumed that it must not be accessable because Randi is
usually good about showing me how to do things by myself if they are
accessable and since he hasn't, I just assumed...Perhaps you know better.

Are you referring to the Victor  Stream? or my KNFB reader mobile.  The
Victor Stream, I put NLS downloaded books on to read.  The KNFB reader
mobile is the cell phone I have the Kurzweil reader on, but I don't use it
for reading books, unless it is a technical book I am looking for
instruction from.

Hi Ted,
I can wait longer for the I products to catch up. 
What ever happened to the machine you could read books with. It is small but
can't remember the name. 
I just remember seeing it in action. 
Small enough for a pocket if you wanted to do that.
