        When you open it, there should be a help file. To download from book 
share, flick down to add. You will have several choices. Keep flicking to 
bookshare. You will need to log in, user name password, that sort of thing. 
Hope you have a good keypad. Then you have choices, newest books, history, etc. 
I usually download first to stream, so am not familiar with how to get the book 
descriptions. I think you double tap on the title and then choose whether or 
not to download. If you already have it in history, just flick past the title 
to where it says download and double tap. When you are done, go to the top of 
the page and flick to done. That disconnects you from bookshare. You then have 
a list called folders. Flick down to the book you want and double tap or flick 
down twice. The first flick is delete. The second is activate. The book will 
come up. 
You then have a very busy page, but keep flicking down to play and double tap. 
I always flick past play to move by unit, flick down to chapter. This means 
heading. That way I get directly into the book and skip all that stuff at the 
beginning. When you have selected chapter, flick back to play, Flick down once. 
It will say fast forward. Double tap play, and the book will start. A double 
tap usually makes it stop. Restarting isn’t so easy if you have been away from 
the machine for a time. Usually you have to unlock it first. Press the control 
button once, then double tap. That usually gets it going. It’s far more 
complicated than stream, but the voices you can get are really good, and if you 
already have an iPhone and don’t want to afford a stream, it’s a great option. 
I usually download to stream then choose to read some, especially the English 
books which I want with a different voice, or if I’m tired of Heather or Ryan, 
I read on the iPhone. I can then delete the book when done and will have an 
archive copy on the stream. If I want, I can read it on the stream later, or 
use the information there to redownload to iPhone if I want to read it there. 
The help file really says this better, but hope this helps. Happy reading.

      That's a great bargain. Voice is a great option, not as easy to navigate 
  as with a stream or other reader, but the additional voices are delightful.
