Sarah,
First, I unpack the Book Share file. Then I run the BP transfer software
and navigate to the directory, on the PC, where the Book Share unpacked
files are located. I select the title that I want to send and press the
send button. To see if it would help, I unpacked one book into its own
directory and I got the same result.
Thanks,
Scott
