A file beginning with pk may well be a zipped archive. I think the
pk goes back to the days of the DOS programs pkzip and pkunzip. What
happens if you treat the file in question as though it were a .zip
file? Will the Book Reader unzip it and produce a file you can read?

Hi all,
I'm attempting to download a book (The Blithedale Romance by
Nathaniel Hawthorne, in BRF format) from bookshare.org but am
encountering a problem. The book seems to download with no
irregularities, error messages, etc, but instead of appearing as it
should, it comes through as a document with an illegible title
("PK" followed by a long series of symbols and numbers), which
contains about two pages of gibberish. I think I may have asked
this on the list before, but has anyone else experienced this
problem, and is there a way to fix it?
Also, speaking of Bookshare, do others find that they can only
download one book before the website stops working and the
BrailleNote needs to be reset?
Thanks very much in advance for any help!
Lucy
