Hi all,
First, Bookshare files haven't had the BKS extension on them for over a
year. The folks who do the software for the Icon should know this.
They should have changed the way in which the Icon handles Bookshare
books. All Bookshare files are zip files now, and you only need the
classic unzip utility to open them. One caveat, the files are password
protected. That's probably why you haven't been able to open them
directly. My advice would be to download the zip file and open it in
the normal way. Don't attempt to open it while downloading it, or as
part of the download process. You will be asked for a password. I
don't know anything about a program called Total Commander, but you
shouldn't have to use a third party program at all. The normal zip
utility for the Icon should handle password protected files. If Ubuntu
and Debian do this, then the Icon should as well.
Ann P.
