Hi Angie,
How the heck have you been? Anyway, actually, it turns out that they do
transfer to the BP, but when you go down the list of files, it's as if there is
nothing there; in other words, no titles are listed. You can read them, but
it's a little strange, having just silence as you make your way through the
list of files on the BP. that's why I thought the periodicals had not
transferred. I've tried changing the option on bookport transfer regarding
using filenames a titles, but no dice. I've also tried renaming the Opf files,
but then Bookport transfer crashes.
I called APH only to be told by Pamela that bookport is no longer being
supported.
Let me know if you come up with any other ideas. And hope you are doing well.
Paula

Hi Paula,
I just did the following with a book, and it worked; it should work for a
newspaper as well.
When you unzip the file you download from bookshare, you will find a file
with a .opf extention. This is the file you should send to the BP. If you have
tried this and it didn't work...I'm sorry, I don't have any other advice. Could
they be going to a different folder than you expect?
I hope your husband will be able to come home soon.
Best,
Angie

Does anyone know a way to get the newspapers from Bookshare on to the
Bookport since they've updated their site and formats. I can get the .brf files
onto the bookport fine, but they have no markup, so I need the other ones.
bookport transfer appears to transfer them, but then do not show up on the
bookport.
Any help would be appreciated, as my husband is in the hospital, and I am
trying to get his newspapers for him.
Paula
