rita,
I believe that you are right that different things open the different file
extensions, but I have no idea what opens which file type.
I always use the HTML extension files.
I read them in Explorer with my screen reader. I didn't download the Victor
reader. So I usually delete most all of the other files. Smile
Which one opens with real player?

I wonder if the extentions have anything to do with how they can be read once
unpacked. I have noticed that one extention will open up in windows explorer
and another inreal player. I don't know if this can happen with a braille
device or not.

Gerald,
The idea that the F1 is to differentiate between books of the same title
but by different authors is a perfectly reasonable explanation but... well not
the case. Smile
I was thinking "dummy " you should have thought of that! So I went and
looked just to find out. I knew that there were at least two books with the
title "Cradle and All" so I did a search on Book Share and low and behold there
are three.
So I thought to my self test this out. I downloaded all three of them and
all of the books once unpacked have the F1 at the end. I even tried to put them
all in one folder and guess what? The computer informed me that Cradle_and_
All_f1.*** already exist. Do you want to replace ?
So alas the f1 is not for that reason. Grin It sounded good though. I
listed the authors below just for the fun of it. I have read two out of the
three so I am going to read the third . Just because I have it.
Fay Nedra Zachary ...Cradle and All
James Patterson Cradle and All
Zachary Alan Fox Cradle And All
Just thought it was interesting. Smile

I believe the numbering convention at the end of the filename was added
to handle duplicate filenames. Remember, lots of books have the same title,
and that, plus rescans, makes it possible for Bookshare to receive the same
filename more than once.

Hi Shannon,
Removing the BSO from the filename would be a good idea. Unfortunately
though, the filenames are generated before the administrator can remove BSO
from the title of the book. Since that's where the filenames come from...well
we're out of luck in the immediate future, I think.
The f1 I believe, stands for file 1. I'm not sure if the programmers
thought there might be f2, f3, someday or not. It's just one of those things
that was done when the site was created, and is bound to bother subscribers til
the end of time, grin.

Hahahahahahheeee
Patti,
I know what you mean.
I some times download a few at a time and then have to try to remember
the whole title and who wrote them to put them in the proper places.
Kellie,
You have a point about just the simple BS as a title beginner. Grin
Nope not such a good idea. I just wonder why they don't just take that part off
when it gets re added to the collection?
I turn alot of my books into MP3 files and when I do so I have to
abbreviate the titles so that the track numbers will show up on my DVD on
screen display. other wise I might have 115 tracks but have no way of knowing
which track is currently playing to return to continue listening..
Some times what should appear to soooo simple is just a twist to the
difficult side. Smile
Does anyone know what the F1 thing is about?

Sometimes the titles in the save as page aren't even complete. If you
have brain fades like I do, by the time you pick a book, open it, put in your
password, if the title of the book is cut off at the end I don't remember the
rest of it, grin and have to make up something!@ Help!
I know, I'm gettin' old.

I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you
get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no
other source.
