I don't know whether this is only true of the newest additions to bookshare (over the last year or so) but lately when I download bookshare books, no unzipping is required. I just seek out the title and the .xml extension, and it opens in Safari when I hit enter. Is no one else experiencing this? Harry, I know in your case, you are dealing with previously downloaded books which you desire to open. A workaround, if you simply cannot get the unarchiver to work, is to redownload the book you wish to read from your book history. Hopefully, what I discussed above will then apply, and you will have your xml file all ready to go. Obviously, depending on the number of books you have, this may not be desirable as far as redownloading all of your book history, but you could do it one by one, as needed.
