Hi Debbie,
I'm with you on the braille issue. I like to read Bookshare books on my
Braille Note, and I really don't think that either format should have
precedence over the other. However, I've seen plenty of Bookshare brf files,
if not the majority that I read, do in fact have paragraphing. What are you
using to read the brf files? Sometimes the setting you use to open the files
on note-takers will affect whether you see linebreaks. For example, with
certain txt files I have to use line format instead of paragraph for editing
on my BN. Otherwise the linebreaks aren't shown, and when the file is
resaved they are lost. But if I use line mode the paragraph marks are not
eaten. If you happen to have Kurzweil and use a braille display to read
files with that, it has a similar setting that can have the same effect. It
depends on the type of linebreak used or something--I really don't have a
good understanding of why sometimes they're shown and sometimes not. With
some files in Kurzweil, particularly files that are txt and the only
linebreaks in them are for the paragraphs, you have to set the editor to
respect line endings.
I may not have told you anything you didn't already know, but I thought I'd
throw this info out there because it's caused me confusion in the past and
has taken me a while to get the hang of making things work the way I want.
Kellie
