Hi Richard,

Whenever you download a daisy book and for this context, a newspaper or 
magazine can be considered a book, each one should be in it's own folder or 
subfolder.  

For example, you might ahave a folder called newspaper.  

You could have unpacked the 13th newspaper into a subfolder called oregonian 
09-13.  Then when you downloaded todays newspaper you would unpack 
it into a subfolder called oregonian 09-22.  

The reason is that daisy books are made up of several files and some of them 
have common file names to all daisy books.  So, if you unpack one into a 
folder already containing a daisy book, some files from the original book will 
probably be overwritten by files from the new one.  

When you finally want to delete a daisy book, just go into the book reader and, 
in this case, go to your newspaper folder and then select the book you want 
to delete and delete it.  The book and the subfolder it is in will all be 
deleted in one delete command.  

You can create the subfolder in the first place when you unpack the book.  when 
asked for a folder to unpack, simply say something like:

newspaper/oregonian  09-22 and you'll get the message that the folder does not 
exist and will be asked if you want to create it.  Just answer yes, and your 
newspaper will be unpacked there.  

Now, when you scroll through yoour list of daisy books in newspaper you should 
see the book named with the name you gave to the subfolder.  So, daisy 
treats the subfolder as a book and you don't have to worry about it from there.

I hope this makes sense as it can be a bit confusing at first.  

Don

Greetings,
I had down loaded the Oregonian newspaper last Wednesday, the 
13th.  I had kept it for one article to share with someone when we 
could get together.
This morning, I down loaded today's Oregonian.
I unpacked it into my "newspaper" folder on my CF card.
I said no to delete the unpacked book which is in my downloads folder.
It said, "loading book."
When the book loaded, it was the Wednesday, September 13th issue and 
it opened at the article I had left it at.

So, instead of loading the newspaper I had just unpacked, it seems to 
have picked the first one in that folder.  Plus, it remembered where 
I had left off--but that wasn't what I wanted.
I quite easily opened the correct newspaper manually, but this seems 
to be another wrinkle in the daisy function.

Just thought Mickey and others at Humanware would want to know.
