Kim, I just tested an Open Library protected Daisy book for you. Just in case something had happened to them since the last time I downloaded one I went there and downloaded and unzipped one myself. Here is the URL for it in case you are interested: http://openlibrary.org/books/OL24769406M/The_ultimate_balloon_book/daisy I chose it pretty much at random. I did a search for the key phrase "protected Daisy" and since the first page of results was filled with those classics with too many editions for me to sift through for the protected Daisy one, I went to the address field on my browser and tacked onto the end of the address the additional refinement of "&page=2000." That book was near the top of page 2000. I downloaded it and unzipped it without any problem at all. In order to read it I would have had to transfered it to my Stream and since I was uninterested in reading it I did not go that far. So it seems to be working okay. If you cannot get the one you are dealing with to unzip my guess is that you have a corrupted file and you should download it and try again. If it still won't unzip then try downloading another book and see if that works.

As far as I know the NLS has nothing to do with Open Library, so it would not do any good to contact them about any problem you might have with a book from there. Open Library just has their protected Daisy books synchronized with NLS keys so that unqualified people can't use their books. Unzipping them shouldn't have anything to do with the key anyway. The key just allows the book to be read once it is unzippped and loaded. I would think it has something to do with the download. Try downloading it again._ _ _"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world." - Richard DawkinsFollow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/rogerbailey81 The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Friedman" <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 12:58 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: curious about Latest booksHi, Roger, I downloaded a book by Wadsworth on Drama in Protected Daisy. For the life of me, I couldn't unzip that file. I'm wondering if I should email NLS about this?

Unfortunately, I don't know what password they use. I've also sent an email to openlibrary.org about what I'm telling you. What did you haveto do to get a password for downloading protected Daisy files from there?

Be sure to use the quotation marks again. To refine your search further just useotherkey words or click the refining tags at the bottom of each page of search results. It is those tags at the bottom of the page that I mean when I refer to user tags. When you find the catalog listing for any book click the edit tab and you can add or remove those tags. Let me also advise this.Whenyou start to use any site always be sure to read all the FAQ and any other informational material that the site has available. That can reallymakeany site easier to use and cut down on the number of questions you willhaveto ask other users. _ _ _ "I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world." - Richard Dawkins Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/rogerbailey81 The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Friedman" <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 1:48 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: curious about Latest booksHi, Roger, I've managed to download a drama anthology from open library. What I want to know are the books not at gutenberg.org. I didput "accessible books" in quotation marks as you suggest. I got a lotof stuff by Dickens, Shakespeare, etc. How does one find the other stuff? Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: Your message was very helpful.

Be sure toenclose the phrase in quotation marks to avoid picking up books that just happen to have those words in the catalog entry seperately. The results will be in the hundreds of thousands. It will include nearly everything Gutenberg has plus protected Daisy books that are still in copyright. Click the title of any of the results you are interested in and on the catalog pageyouwill find a linkk to Daisy somewhere there. Click that and you will be on a page that tells you about Daisy and there will also be a link fordownloadingthe book. Open Library is primarily a catalog and lists nearly twenty-five million books if you count the various editions. The onesthat can be downloaded number in the hundreds of thousands though andthere aresomevery obscure ones. _ _ _ "I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with notunderstanding the world." - Richard Dawkins Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/rogerbailey81 The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "eden kizer" <eden420@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2011 8:45 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: curious about Latest booksWhat is openlibrary? Does it just list books or does it have books that you can download? If so, I have not found a way to do so although IthinkI found somewhere that they had availability for people withdisabilitycould get donwloloaded versions of over a million books and not justonesout of copyright date. Is this true or not, and if so how does itwork asI saw only classics in a quick browse. Any info on this isappreciated,but you may please write privately so as not to clutter list. Thankyou.I am always looking for new sources of material because even though Bookshare has a wonderful selection, I like to find more obscure tingssometimes.
