Public domain books have a diszip extension after the disbks extension. Once the book is downloaded, it is then possible to "unpack" it from disbks file in to its normal format such as disbrf or distxt. Once this is done, you can then delete the disbks file. > All bookshareddorg books are password protected. You need to enter your password to unpack the books. Books that are in the public domain, (out of copyright), don't require a password even though the prompt will still come up. You can just press ENTER, or enter your password. > Books can only be "unpacked" in KeyBook. > 1. Go to KeyWeb by either pressing I. in the Main Menu or, BACKSPACE with ENTER with I. anywhere. KeyWeb will prompt you for a URL. > 2. Select Bookshare from your favorites. Navigate to the Login page and log in using your member details. You will end up in a personalized welcome page. > 3. Locate the book you want, ensuring it is in a supported format, and download it to the folder and drive of your choice. > TO UNPACK: > 1. Go to KeyBook by pressing BACKSPACE with ENTER with B. > 2. KeyBook will offer you the folder in to which you downloaded the book as default. Press ENTER, and you will be offered the book as the default file. If you've downloaded several books, the last one is the offered book. To select the book, press ENTER. > 3. KeyBook prompts: "Folder for unpacked Bookshare book? Press ENTER for "My Books." Either press ENTER or select another file location. > 4. You will be prompted for your bookshareddorg password. Type it in, and press ENTER. > 5. The book will unpack. There will be some progress beeps. When complete, KeyBook prompts: "Delete original packed Bookshare book?" Press Y. > (NOTE: If the book format is not supported, KeyBook will tell you at this point and return to the main menu.) > (NOTE: If there is not enough memory available to unpack the book, KeyBook will prompt "could not save unpacked Bookshare book. Disk is full.") > 6. KeyBook displays the name of the file, including the file extension. > 7. KeyBook will ask "Review the options?" as it does for every book in a non-native KeySoft format the first time. > 8. The book is now ready to read. If you exit the book before reading it, KeyBook will bookmark for you, and the next time you open it, it will open to the same place. > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote >
