Lisa, the book is always downloaded as a bks extension. When you get it, from the Main Menu, press B. You will see, "read book in which folder?" Find the folder it was downloaded in. Press Enter. You will be asked, "unpack book share book in which folder?" Put it in the folder you want. It will automatically be a brf.
