Tina, I may be wrong about this, but as I remember, only books that have a regular zip extension, which is what Bookshare books have, but somehow they include a password, can be unzipped by the Bookshare application. My guess is that even if you rename the extension, the format is different and the program will not unpack it. Like I said, I could be wrong about this, and if I am, I would like to know so if I get a book with a different extension from zip, I will know if the bn can unpack it or not. The fact that the bn can unpack regular zipped files, by the way was not planned as far as I know. It appears to be a by product of the Bookshare application. Hth.
