Hello,
Sorry to say this, but HIMS has a bookshare app for like 2 years, so even 
though their app is not working right now, it will not  effect them. Humanware 
should of done one for ages. oh well, what can we do? Its just going to be like 
9.1. They'll release a thing, that you install, and will be able to use 
bookshare again.
