Okay tiny bit of confusion. Does this automatic thing with the bks extension apply to the books in the public domain and the ones in the copyright domain like the membership only ones? When it asked me to name the file I just figured that I had to put an extension with it otherwise it would have been an htm extension. I guess I thought this since that's what happens with Web Braille if I don't put a brf extension on Web Braille files then they can come out htm but are okay when I review the options and tell it it is a Braille file. Thanks! Lisa
