Note that HTML files don't always convert to text files. The ones
from Gutenberg do, for instance, but the ones from Blackmask don't.
To send a DAISY book from Bookshare, send the file with the file extension of .opf, but note that you must have the Book Wizard Reader program installed. I don't like to send HTML files, since this takes a very long time as the HTML is converted, so what I do is bring up the HTML file on the PC in Internet Explorer, press ALT+F followed by the letter A, and save the output as a plain text file. Files with the .txt extension are loaded to the BP faster than any other file format.

I tried to put a book from book share on my husband's book port for him, and it tells me that daisy talking books cannot be cued. If I try to send the html file extension to the book port, it talks about microsoft word and asks whether I want the book in normal or not. I'm confused.
