Hi Siobhan,
Okay, I don't know how specific you want instructions to
be. If I give you too much information, you can strangle me at any point.
I find that the easiest way to deal with books from
Bookshare is to download and open them from within Kurzweil
1000. So, I'll tell you how I do that.
Open K1000. Press the alt key to open the menus. Right
arrow until you get to the online menu. Down arrow until you get to
where it says "search for books. Hit enter there. That opens a
dialogue. The first option is to search by title. Tab to where it
wants you to type the title and type it there. Keep tabbing until you
see the list of available libraries. You can down arrow through
those and uncheck everything except bookshare by pressing the
spacebar on each library, if you know already that bookshare has the
book that you want. From there, keep tabbing until you find the "ok"
button and hit enter there. K1000 will then ask you to enter your
Bookshare password, just type it, then tab, and you will be asked to
fill in your Bookshare password. Type it, then tab to the "ok" button
and hit enter on it. You should then be given a list of books with
titles containing the words that you specified. Check the ones that
you want to download by using the spacebar. Tab to the ok button and
hit enter on it. You will then be asked to specify which format you
want to download, choose daisy by highlighting it. Tab to the ok
button and hit enter on it. You will be notified when the download
is complete. At this point, I go to the file menu and hit enter on
"open." You will be asked if you want to open the file or files that
you last downloaded. Hit enter on "Yes." You will be asked again to
enter your Bookshare password. Type it, tab to the "ok" button, and
hit enter. K1000 will then begin opening the file. Don't worry if
this takes a few minutes. Some times it does. When the file has
been successfully opened, K1000 will begin reading the book, starting
with all of Bookshare's notices of copyright exemption and on to the
content of the book itself.
If I have been unclear or inaccurate, please write again, and I'll
try to fix whatever mistakes I might have made.
If all goes well, happy reading!
Peace,
Mayrie

How do I do that, then. I used the unpack utility from bookshare,
and ended up deleting the files when I couldn't get anything the way
I wanted. This week's just been a bit difficult for me. I
appreciate all your help. Thanks.

Hi Siobhan,
You can open that daisy file in Kurzweil. Just thought
I'd let you know that some things are sometimes easier than we think.
Peace,

Hey everyone, book two, home before Dark, just got accepted.
Yay! Now, I went and downloaded a Fern Michaels book, in daisy,
and I thought i had something to play it with. I can always open
the BRF file with k1000 but if anyone wants to help me with the
daisy format then that would be great. Thanks,
A happy Siobhan
