For Voice Sense users, and this probably applys to Braille Sense, too. When you're downloading a book, you get told, "Character not recognized." or something like that. I've encountered something like this, before; so, luckily, didn't pannick, and neither should you. Just delete everything in the file name after the first .zip. It downloads fine, and unzips using the unzip feature in the file menu. I also am curious why the Stream would need an update, unless the .zip files save memory. ----- Original Message ----- From: "A. J.
