Hello,
I will be using a surface pro as my tablet rather than the Braille Sense.
What app imulates the reader found on something like this?
Saves one's place, has bookmarking, selecting, easy downloading of Bookshare books and allows my screen reader to read me my books?
Has anyone used the apps for windows at:

I'd recommend taking a look at QRead. It's a nice and very accessible file reader, that can be configured to access your Book Share  account directly to get books. I'm not shure what it's entire list of features are because I primarily got it to read PDF files.

It's not free though, if that's what you're looking for. It costs $30 US.

I was considering using it for Book Share books, but now that I have a Victor Reader Stream, I will be using it to listen to my Book Share books.

You can find it here: http://q-continuum.net/

Hello,
I have never used anything from them, but my question is, does it have the ability to save where I finished reading?

it does. I found that out while reading "do androids dream of electric sheep" by philop k. dick. I recommend that to any science fiction fans out there. that one's a classic.

be a hero and stop Coppa now!

Cool, I checked it out and it looks awesome! I just would like some more features.
What is the difference between the trial version and the full version?

Has anyone checked out Capti? It would be awesome if I could read, alternating between my phone and computer.

For QRead, I believe that the trial is the full version that quits working after something like 30 days.

The trial of QRead is indeed a trial, but it only allows you to read about 70 percent of a book.

I've been going by Bryn, which is now reflected in my profile. Please do your best to respect this :) Mess ups are totally OK though, I don't mind and totally understand!

OK, I stand corrected then. Where did you find that? I looked on the web site and couldn't find any list of trial version limitations, which gave me the impression that there weren't any, so I just assumed that they were using the most common trial license used, which is a 30 day license for the full version.

I've ran the trial before purchasing it, and the book cut off at 70 percent or so and put a message.
