John, You only have to rename the extension to bks if the book is still zipped and you have to unzip/unpack it with the bookshare unpack utility. If it's already in brf or txt format you can just read it, with either the book reader or keyword. If you read it with the book reader, it's automatically protected when you're within the document and you will not accidentally make changes by pressing enter or space, but if you use keyword, it's not protected.
If you have to unzip the book, just make sure that you have enough space where-ever you choose to do so. When it asks a password after you have chosen the location for the unpacking, just press enter. If, on the other hand, the book is not zipped, do not change the extension to .bks, because then it will try to unpack/unzip an already uncompressioned .brf or .txt file and you will probably just get an error tone.
