Hi;
This procedure seems to work for me when unzipping and using bookshare
material. Someone asked that I repost the original from Woody so here it is.

Hi Richard, Here's a way to download a book from the Bookshare site: 1.
Download the book to any folder you like. 2. Create a folder in /library/books
called whatever your book is called. 3. Find the file you downloaded in File
Explorer. 4. Press the Menu key and choose the option to decompress or unzip
it (I think it's called decompress). 5. You are asked where you want to
extract to. Select the folder you created in /library/books. 6. You are asked
for a password; enter your Bookshare password. The book should be extracted. I
did this with a BRF file, but haven't with a DAISY book. I don't know whether
the files are automatically extracted to a folder. If they are, you don't need
to create a folder with your book's title. I gave that step to make sure all
the files from a DAISY book would end up in their own folder. HTH, Anna
