MessageI thought the original idea for passwords to books was to keep bookshare 
members from sharing books with nonbookshare members.

Does this mean that bookshare finally trusts us?Na, it's gotta be something 
else.

  Hi Kim,

  Yes, the only time you will need to type a password from here on is when you 
log into the Bookshare web site.

  I didn't ask why the change to not requiring passwords to open zip files was 
made, so don't know.  Sorry.

  Hi, Mayrie, this is news to me. So the only time we need a password is when 
the Bookshare site requires our email address and password? Write me back and 
confirm please. I can't say this boggles the mind but it does seem to mean one 
step less to do. Just out of curiosity, what made the gurus on Bookshare decide 
we needn't put in passwords for opening the files? If you don't know, don't 
worry about it. The last question is just curiosity as I said. I was just 
wondering out loud. Have a great week. Regards, Kim Friedman.

  Hi Everyone,

  There is no longer a password needed to open any zip file downloaded from 
Bookshare.  That changed midweek this past week.

  I'm not sure when the last time you tried it was, but I just finished 
downloading two of them, both when logged into my own account, and while logged 
out using a public domain book. Both times, it worked fine, though 
interestingly, I didn't have to type my password when opening the BRF 
downloaded from my own account. Maybe it's because I went into my book history, 
and downloaded the most recent book? That shouldn't have any effect on the 
password, but I'm not sure...

    Hi all,

    I can’t download any brf files, starting yesterday.  Is this part of the 
website problem?  It isn’t my computer, but it is very frustrating!!
