Hi Steve, I had a similar problem which is what brought up the question. I later discovered that wen one unpacks that brf book file, one first has to set the braille note to grade two braille before he unpacks that brf file and tries to open it. That beginning stuff wasn't the easiest to read with voice even then, but the text book of the file was legible, not perfect, not as good as voice in ascii text, but legible. When I finished reading and exited, then I reset the braille to ascii the way I like to work with it in email. I prefer writing in ascii online, just as I used to do for years with Braille and Speak online. Hope this helps. Enjoy. After you've turned on grade two braille, try opening that brf file again in that mybooks folder. It does work eventually. Hang in there, and give it another try. The text might be in a ways. The one I started reading last night started in the middle of 11. No, I didn't change any options. I left them alone.
