How about the Bookport? My wife loves it. Its a small device that reads
either daisy or brf files. It's available from the Printing House for the
Blind and costs four hundred and something. You can read anywhere with it,
so you wouldn't be chained to your computer.

Why bother with the brf files at all? If you want access to the page
numbers, why not open the html version of the book? You can do that for
free.

Well, what about using another Braille translation program. Do I really
have to spend a few thousand dollars just to get the page numbers?

Given Pratik's recent message, if you're downloading them into K1000,
there may not be a way of doing this reliably. But if you were to put them
onto another device such as the BrailleNote or BrailleLite or Pac Mate, then
the print pages are indicated by a line of dashes with the page number at
the end.

When I download a recent book from BookShare in the BRF format, can
I be sure of being able to determine the print page number of the material I
happen to be reading? If I can, how?
