Shelley, I hope you don't mind me asking about validating books on your braille note. Did i understand correctly that you can download books with your braille note, use the bookshare unpack utility to open the xip files by renaming them as BKS files, and then edit them? Are there any other special directions someone would need to know in order to successfully download the book and then upload it when finished? A bunch of people have asked on the braille note list, and I have only tested bits and pieces of the process. I don't want to accidently mislead anyone or give poor directions. At this moment I don't have anything to test the whole process with, and I'd like to test it, but I've been very busy as well as unmotivated when it comes to editing lately. If you really wouldn't mind I would pass on your directions, or even write directions once i know there aren't any unexpected difficulties that you find every time you use your braille note for the whole process.
