Hi guys,

        The HumanWare products can't as yet unzip books from the new site.
I heard there's an upgrade coming some time next month for you guys from
them.

I have  yet to be able to successfully unpack a book from the new site.
I use both a braille note empower and a victor stream.

Hello,

I'm a new member so forgive me writing under this subject but it all falls
into problems with the new site I guess.

I'm having all kinds of trouble at this point.  I must say, I have an older
BrailleNote which until now, has worked great.  Now, when I copy the files I
can't read them and the older books I haven't read yet I'm getting a dialog
of "invalid password" and I know the password is correct as it's accepted
when I log into Bookshare.

The second problem is I just purchased a Victor Reader and when i download
books, I can get them on the card in the card reader but when I insert the
card into the player it doesn't locate the file at all.  I'm sure it's
something I'm doing wrong but can't figure out what.

I'd be so grateful if someone can help me get back to reading again.  I'm
going crazy.

Thanks for the list and I hope someday I will be able to help someone else
out as well.

-Diane Hubbard
