I always noticed paragraphing in the Braille files. I read them on a Braillenote, and most of them so far, have proper page breaks. Am awaiting my Bookcourier, was supposed to be here Monday, but.... ah, UPS. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

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.
