Yes, the brf files work great, but then so do the .opf files. You'll want =
to use the .opf on those files where you want the structure such as the =
magazines.
One really cool trick is to set up IE to always open the .bks files. Then =
when you click on the link for a .brf file, it gets downloaded, aand the =
unpack tool gets run. Once you type in your password and save the file, =
select "yes" to open the file, and the transfer tool will queue it up for =
you.

I usually save Open Book files as text files and send them to the BP. =
I've
had translation issues when trying to save them as .brf files. However =
the
.brf files from Book Share wirk great. I should also mention I'm using =
Open
Book 6.01. Lou
