Actually, the solution would not be as simple as having NFB Newsline content going into the Periodicles folder, because the News Stand application will not recognize them from there, and the Book Shelf won't find them either. What happens right now is that the NFB Newsline software puts all of its content in a folder called NFB NewsLine that it creates in the Books folder. On the other hand, when you get content from BookShare using the News Stand, a folder is created for each publication you subscribe to in the Periodicles folder. In addition, each issue you get is stored in its own folder inside the folder for the publication. Not only that, but it looks like the Daisy structure for NFB NewsLine content is not the same, as there are more files for each issue in the BookShare version.
I imagine this is why the folks at NFB NewsLine programmed their software the way they did, which will at least allow their content to be accessed through the Book Shelf.
Hope this doesn't confuse anyone too much. ----- Original Message----- From: "Chase Crispin" <chase.crispin@xxxxxxxxx> To: "'William & Pamela '" <pmcoats00@xxxxxxx>; <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <prader@xxxxxxx>; <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I totally agree. I suspect that the reason for this is that most of the other devices that Newsline syncs with are simpler DTB Players, e.g Streamor Book Port Plus. The developers probably don't know about the file/folder structure of the Icon/BP, thus these go in with other books like they would on other devices. I am going to write Newsline to see if they could find away to send content to the News Stand, where it belongs.

Unfortunately that is exactly wheremost all my reference books for work also go, and for some reason also some.brf books. However, I don't really want periodicals mixed in with my reference books for work, nor my training books from work. Periodicals should go in with other periodicals. I don't know why someone would set programming to mix periodicals and books in the books or author area. I guess there's no way to change where they are placed?

If they do, you may be able to locate them quickly under their putative authors .... Ifthey do not, you will find them under "unknown". G. Guido D. Corona Levelstar LLC. 685 S.

The only way to get around this is to sort your bookshelf by date, see the options menu. There is no wayto get these into the News Stand, but sorting your Bookshelf by date shouldat least let you find the newest papers easily.

If you do that, they will show up inthe the same place as the bookshare mags and newspapers. Why not try that?The periodicals folder is in the library folder.

It would seem a much better location to have them load to the place where BookShare magazines are loaded. At least for me I have fewer newspapers & magazines loaded than books.
