I have not been following this thread, but I wanted to make sure no new problem has arisen with 9.1, so I just downloaded a couple magazine issues. Like all things Apex in my opinion, the process was not effortless, but it was quite achievable. If 9.1 users can't do it, I can help.
As for some of the predicting that has gone on, I highly doubt WebBraille and BookShare will merge. They are entirely different entities. The $50 annual free for Bookshare for the 90,000 books they have is a steal. What will eventually happen is that WebBraille will somehow move to the BARD site so that all NLS's braille and recordings are available from one unified site. I'll be a little surprised if the division of books into volumes goes away, since they are after all intended for paper production. The whole WebBraille download process should be achievable by all and gives access to a nice small collection of materials.

It is slightly tedious, but it has advantage of getting the actual book file rather than the zip file and having to unlock it. Apparently people said that it's the problem with NLS site itself.

I have no problem downloading Bookshare books onto my PC, unzipping them and transferring them to my Braille Note card. Do you have to download WebBraille differently? It sounds like it might be a little more tedious from reading that you download one volume at a time. Am I right? If so, I really hope that changes. Someone at a library said that they were thinking of combining Bookshare and WebBraille onto the same web site. That would be nice. It would also be nice if there weren't a fee for Bookshare books.
