Fellow Book share Members, after several attempts to transfer Publisher Quality Files to my B C, I did find a somewhat cumbersome work around. I unpacked the P Q File with the Book Share un pack tool using the option to create a file with an HQML Extension. I then opened this HQML File with Internet Explorer and then saved this file as a TXT file. I then used the Book Courier Transfer Tool to load this TXT File into my B C. Once loaded on to the B C the TXT Files seem to read pretty much like a normal Book Share File. If anyone can come up with an easier solution please let me know. 




Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Problem with Publisher Quality Files on a Book 
Courier


For the last 2 years I have been using a Book Courier to read Book Share
digital publications. Today I attempted to transfer a few publisher quality titles from Book Share on to my B C for the first time. As soon as I typed 
in my password and tapped enter on Open, my computer crashed on each of
these files, and the file was not transferred to the B C. Volunteer scanned 
files with a rating of excellent, downloaded from Book Share at the same
time were transferred to the B C with no problem.



Is anyone else having a problem transferring Publisher Quality Files to a
Book Courier, or am I the only one having this problem? It's obvious that 
the Publisher Quality format will become the most common file type on Book
Share in the not too distant future, and some kind of a work around will
have to be developed to get these files to play on a B C.  Is Book Share
currently working on a work around or do I need to contact Springer Design
to get their in put on this issue?



I would appreciate any information or suggestions that anyone can provide
which might help me to continue to use my B C to read Book Share Books.
