Hello,

In case this is helpful to someone else, I am a Bookshare subscriber because 
I take hadley courses; the annual fee is waived.

I had never looked at the Newspapers and Magazine section until today, and 
found that NFB Newsline's newspapers and magazines can be downloaded via 
bookshare as either DAISY or a braille format (I use .bks2.)  I was able to 
read the portions of the Los Angeles Times on a BrailleNote Apex that were 
available through NFB Newsline via Bookshare. The file didn't contain the 
whole newspaper but did have quite a bit of it.

The NFB Newsline magazines seem to be available also.

Sincerely,
Cindy Flerman
