Hi Sue,

I apologize; I assumed the Bookshare staff read this list.  Besides, by
putting the discussion here, I was thinking that people could offer up
comments.  And some have, already saying that they prefer to open up the
page in order to download the book.

I'll Email Bookshare directly.

Thanks.

Hi Lora,

No one on this list could do anything about this.  Why don't you write to
the bookshare staff?  <smile>

I know. I was asking for an enhancement,  to make it work like the search
results page, where you can click on the BRF or Daisy link right from the
search results page.

Hi Laura,
You have always had to click on the book title before downloading books.
