Hi Estin, There is a workaround for using the Bookshare unpack utility to unzip books with a zip extension. If I remember correctly, you rename the book with a .bks extension instead of the .zip extension, and the unpack utility will open it for you. One thing I'm not sure of is whether you can upload validated books to Bookshare with a BN. It really might be a good idea to join the Braillenote list and ask if anyone has done this successfully. I get the impression that you don't have access to a computer and use your BN exclusively. If you can't validate books with a BN at this time, maybe it will be a future improvement. In the meantime, enjoy your Bookshare membership.
