Hi Nancy:
It sounds like what you're calling the BP file is really, in fact, the OPF
file. I have seen this happen before, once the file has been transferred. If
you look at the file before transferring it to the book Port from the computer
side, I think you'll see the OPF extension. Anyway, if you're able to read it
okay, then I wouldn't worry too much about the technicalities. The Book Wizard
Reader looks in the XML file and gets the information.

I used to get an opf file with book share. Now I only get the bp, hml, nxt
and sml files. Any idea where the opf file went?
As an experiment, I took the bp file away from the hml file...to a totally
different folder. I hit enter on the bp file and the book said it was
opening and then it began reading the book. How can such a small file do
this? Or, has the bp file taken over the opf file somehow?
I am just trying to understand.
Thanks,
Nancy
