Hi Jackie, 

Do you find Edge the best browser for you for most things now?

I'm using Edge now, but it works the same with Chrome.

Hi,

What browser are you using?  Jackie's method works for me with Chrome.

I would advise against using Internet Explorer as it is so old.

All the best

Steve

Jackie,
I tried that but does not work. I can only download the book by entering on the 
book title on the pending download section then pressing on the download link 
again. This usually gives me 2 downloads of the same book, which I have to 
cancel one of them.
I am confident RNIB will get it right but needs little more work. I also would 
like to see a synopsis of the book in the search section if possible.
Thank you
Ali

Hi Ali

When you enter on the details of the book once you've found the one you wish to 
download, enter on the Download link.  You may or may not get the pending 
download message, I've noticed this is a bit hit and miss.  But wait a minute 
or two, then press the Download link again, and the book should start 
downloading.  If it doesn't, I'm not sure why, but this is now the way Martin 
and I go through the process which cuts out a load of faffing around.

Kind regards,

Jackie Brown

Jackie,
For me, the download link puts the book in the pending download section, but, 
from there, nothing happens. It says download pending nothing else.

Thank you
Ali

Hi Pele

This is correct, F5 doesn't work for me either.  Nor does just clicking the 
Download link once and leaving it.  As Iain says, I just don't see why you 
can't click a Download link and have the book land in your Downloads folder 
when it's completed the process.  Why do you have to go through the rigmarole 
of going to Account, then Pending Downloads, only to find the book isn't there? 
 Least it isn't there for me, I think my method works best for us, but I can't 
speak for everybody else.

It would be really helpful and interesting for someone from RNIB to explain the 
background process to help me at least understand why it's a tedious process.  
I have concerns for those who aren't used to downloading for whatever reason, 
it's such a messy procedure to be honest.

Kind regards,

Hi Steve

Not Jackie, but I tried pressing F5 a number of imes and it made no difference.

I think when the book is zipped up the title contains a number relating to the 
person downloading it. This is why the book has to be zipped every time it is 
requested. This is only a theory, so I could be wrong.
