Hi all,

Lucy, I've CC'ed this reply to the Bookshare Discuss list in the hope that the staff who monitors that list will see it. There've been two or three complaints about not being able to download books from a multitude of OS's and screen readers and Braille displays. this does seem to be a real issue that needs attention. I found that I could download with my computer but not with a Braille display attached. This is definitely significant. If I were you, I'd join the Bookshare-Discuss list and follow this topic. This should not be.

Original message:

Dear all,

I am trying to download a few books from Bookshare, but when I
select my preferred format (BRF) and click the download button,
I'm simply taken back to the "Search results" page rather than
getting the "Dowload file into which folder?" prompt as usual.
This has been the case with several different books.  My
scripting is disabled.  Are other people having this problem?
What can I do to fix it?

Thanks in advance!
