Hi Evan. That's true for some people but not for others. I'm glad things are
running smoothly for you. For some reason, many of our users are getting xml
files loading in programs like Word or Front Page. Others get a message that
Windows doesn't know how to open the file. So this is my attempt to help
people in these situations who want to read books in their browser. I think
people who have later versions of Microsoft Office and/or Internet Explorer
6 are particularly affected. I'm very glad this issue isn't impacting you.

Hmmm, I may have missed this thread. But when I unzip the Daisy file, I get
eight files. Then, I just hit enter on the file with the xml extension and
it automatically opens in IE. That's all there is to it in my experience.

Hi everyone. Many of you have been asking questions about how to get your
Bookshare books to open in your web browser. I've seen a lot of questions
about this on other lists too. I've written some instructions and put them
on my blog so you can share them easily with friends who aren't on this
list. Though I use Internet Explorer for my example, the same technique
works in Firefox and Opera as well. The post is available at
