Hi, 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? Regards, Kim Friedman.

I have never had to use a password for Open Library books. They just
assume
that if you have a device with an NLS key installed on it then you must
be
qualified.
