This is what I thought. I was surprised that people were wanting to keep and sync hundreds of books. I’m glad to know I can access my Bookshare history though.
Take care, Lois From: Arnold Schmidt Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2017 12:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Downloading entire Bookshare library at once Not only do I think the downloading of an entire library not possible, I don't think Bookshare would want it to be possible. I think I remember reading in one of their policy statements that their reason for being was not so that people could amass their own private library, rather to have access to books one wanted to read in the present or immediate future, then delete them. One can access their book history, and also keep reading lists on Bookshare itself, but Bookshare is meant to be a service from which one can have a library from which one can borrow books, then delete them, as opposed to Kindle, or Audible, where one purchases them.

When this happened to me, I got rid of the books that didn't work as I had many in the older format. It was time consuming in the extreme. Since Bookshare has a monthly limit of how much can be downloaded, you would have to download your thousands again over a long period of time. This is one of the reasons I keep a book list of what I have read. What gets confusing too is multiple books with the same title by so many different authors. Good luck. I don't know if what I said here helped but hope it may have.

I’ve downloaded probably thousands of books in this time. In the process of doing so, the older format is not compatible with apps like VoiceDreamReader on iOS or the book quality has since been replaced by a better formatted/scanned version. That and I may have some books here and others there. This and that backup on the cloud or external drive, etc. My question is… is there in fact a way to download my entire book history in one shot or am I looking at a labor intensive task sifting through God knows how many titles that stretch back over ten years? Would appreciate any info on whether this can be accomplished in a reasonable manner. I’m a Windows user, but my main reading device is the iPhone these days. I would ideally like to get everything on my PC first and then upload to the iPhone. Thanks, Cristobal -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
