[NFBP-Talk] ueb braille was, or, RE: dictionaries and encyclopedias for my orbit 20display

[Josh Kennedy]

Well then, maybe American printing house will sell sd cards with encyclopedias, dictionaries English Spanish Spanish English dictionaries, and other particular subject reference books in UEB contracted braille to put in and read on the orbit reader 20? Is ueb braille really taking off? Or should I just set my translator for the older ebae braille? But really there really is not too much difference between the new ueb and the older English American braille I read in the 80s and 90s and 2000s. I do like however that the new ueb braille can show bullets, different accent marks and math symbols and stuff like that. But the older ebae braille cannot show that stuff nearly as good.

You don’t want Wikipedia as there are mistakes I hear, warm smile.

Subject: [NFBP-Talk] dictionaries and encyclopedias for my orbit 20 display

Hi,
Does anyone know where I could get a complete unabridged dictionary and unabridged encyclopedia in digital braille e-braille format to put on my orbit reader20? The orbit reader20 has an 8gig card. But it can take up to a 32gig maybe even higher card. The 8 gig card will on average hold nearly one hundred thousand volumes of braille. And a 32gig card would hold nearly four hundred thousand braille volumes. So it would be great to have some reference books on that thing. 
Hey, I heard somewhere that the whole entire Wikipedia can be downloaded. And that uncompressed it is nearly 58gb. But that is in html code. So if I formatted a 128gb card as fat or fat32 and put it in the orbit20, I wonder if anyone has translated the whole entirety of Wikipedia into contracted UEB braille yet? Then I could have all of Wikipedia in braille on my orbit reader20.
