Well, after I updated my Braille Plus, I thought I'd just go back and try
the book again. So, as I do with any Bookshare book, I just went to
theSearch for Books by pressing 33, put in the title Niine Tomorrows.
Braille Plus found the book and downloaded it just fine. I went to the
bookshelf and was able to open the book successfully. What I've learned
about this is to let Bookshare know when I find books like this. Sounds
like this particular problem was on the Bookshare end, not so much the
Braille Plus end.

|
| Hi,
| Nine Tomorrows is definitely a problem.
| I'd suggest writing support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and reporting it.
| It will not open on my BrailleNote PK, the Victor Reader Stream, the
| Braille+, and not even with the Victor Reader software from Bookshare.
| The files are there. Obviously there is a bad file.
|
| In fact, I'll also cc this note to bookshare.
|
| Richard

| Hi Kathy,
| I tried the book and got the same result. It simply won't open,
| although all of the files appear to be there. My first thought would be
that
|
| the book is bad, but if you have opened it on other things, than I don't
| know.
| Have a good weekend.
