That depends on if you want free versions or paid ones. If you're a member of NLS in the U.S., then you can get free books from them and they do have the Twilight series. If you have a digital player from NLS or another like the VR Stream you can download direct from NLS bard site for free either onto a special cartriage or buy a regular USB thumb drive and download to that.

Otherwise, you probably will have to pay for downloads or acutal books on tape or CD and I've about 25 different sites you could go through.

If you're outside the U.S. try going through RNIB in the U.K. and CNIB in Canada cause those are free for all blind/deaf/motor impaired users.

You know how you said that it would work with thumb drives? Will it work with SD cards? That's what I have for my Stream. I would use my BrailleNote, but, unfortunately, it's on its last legs and the braille display just went bye bye. Bye bye BrailleNote, hello BrailleSense Plus with SenseNAV from Gw Micro! Probably getting that for college. Not sure yet.

I think the Victor Stream does use SD cards. You can find out more about downloading from BARD and what types of thumb drives, cards, etc. work best with the various machines by visiting the FAQ section of bardtalk.com.

What's the Bard website?

I believe it's http://nlsbard.loc.gov. Problem is that last time i checked all they had as far as the Twilight Saga goes were Twilight and New Moon.

I think BARD has all of them now. I remember seeing a couple of the Twilight titles pop up on the recently added books list a month or so ago. The only reason I even remember is because I am so sick of hearing about Twilight that seeing the titles on the list annoyed me. I know Bookshare has them all but you have to pay to join so that might not interest you. Personally, I love Bookshare and think it's a good deal.

I use Bookshare. I'm trying to change my password on BARD, but it won't let me because it's asking me what my nickname is. And I don't remember.

I don't remember anything about a nickname.
