Hi Mark. Your explannation made sense. What I described also happens with NLS books. I'll move a batch of bookshare and NLS books I downloaded to a stick and try it to see if I can duplicate what happened. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Mulcahy" <marc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Lary: In the case of books from Bookshare.org, at least some of the books themselves are incorectly generated at Bookshare's end, and there's not a lot we can do about it. Basically what happens when you choose to copybooks from an SD card or USB drive is that we scan the drive for book files (in this case, .opf files). When we find one, we open it, and retrieve thecomplete list of files which are a part of that book so we know what files to copy. Unfortunately, at least some titles from Bookshare.org have an incomplete list of files, so we don't copy all the files in the book. The package file for the book is missing from the list, so we don't copy it. As a result, when the cataloger goes to search for new books, it doesn'tfind any new .opf files, since we didn't copy any, and as a result, the booknever shows up in the bookshelf. Hope this makes sense.
