Mike, the trick with this process involves one tiny, extra step. Once you have the book unpacked, get to the main menu and hit d for the daisy player. It will take you to the flash disk. Hit enter and then go to the download folder. Hit enter and then arrow down to the folder that bookshare unpacking has just created. Now for the tiny, weird step. Once you are pointing at that folder, pres the space bar to highlight that folder. Then, press enter and your daisy book should load. Read the section of the manual on the daisy player. Some of the commands are not that obvious. At first, you might actually want to use the menus instead of the keyboard commands.
I hope this helps.

When I try listening to it in speech, only the first few lines are read. I can read the unpacking process in braille, but the paragraphs after that are skipped over. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.
