Actually the book I chose to play with was Eats, Shoots, and Leaves.
Guess where I heard about that book?

Random thought, did you um, download and use a Publisher quality book?

Smile.

I know in my Book Courier, the non publisher quality books you can jump by
page, heading preface and the like.

Thanks! This was a marvelous link.
I haven't had the bookshare unpack tool on my computer for two years as I
bought
Kurzweil about the same time I upgraded from Windows 98 to XP and a new
computer. My 98 machine crashed-and-burned with no survivors which finally
forced the upgrade.
I recently bought a Victor Reader Stream and was asked to see if bookshare
books
would play on the stream. So. With Daryl's help I unpacked a bookshare book,
made a folder in my $dtb folder and copied the book there. The book reads
just
fine, but there seems to be no heading and other information in the book.
Using
the 4 and 6 keys jumps me either to the beginning or the end of the book. At
that rate I might just as well unpack the book in Kurzweil and save and copy
as
a *.txt file.

Hello all,I've been sort of lax in keeping up with the bookshare
happenings
but...I tried to download and unpack a book the other day, "old Possum's
book
of Practical Cats".  I downloaded the book, saved it in my eBooks folder
and
then unpacked it.  I got the book with the extensions at the end of the
title,
cmx,  opt and sml.  I can't find anything that tells me what these file
extensions stand for nor can I get the book to play in Windows Media
Player.
I dislike the Victor Reader software voice.  What can I do so as not to
have
to listen to the book online?   I have considered disabling my wireless
capability to see if that would help.  I'd love some feedback.  Thanks to
you
all.
