Ann,
First, thank you for the info regarding the direct URL for a book. I
didn't realize this and so just copied the full URL which appeared in my
address bar.
The format I was trying to download was the Daisy audio format.

Hi all,
Well, I looked at the book, chose the DAISY audio and it's in progress
now. Looks interesting. If I have trouble with it, I'll let you
know. What format were you downloading?
BTW, when you list a URL for a Bookshare book, you only need to copy
the URL until the question mark. That is, copy it from the http to
the question mark. All those funky numbers and letters are
unnecessary. Your URL for this Star Trek Second Generation book
should look like this:
https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/787890
Makes life so much easier if you don't try to include the question
mark and the return path stuff, it's just extraneous material in the
URL. It probably helps Bookshare to organize its web pages, but the
short form works much better.
