One question to all and yes this is do simply too lazy behavior I do not remember how to book mark a website on safari can someone please remind me?

I hate it when people make a simple process sound so blastedly complicated. Mike's correct though, and, it was he who taught me how to do this. 1. Make sure you have your browser set to open safe files. this I believe, you have already done. 2. Click the link for downloading the book you wish. 3. from inside the tool bar, at the very right end, is the download button. You want to press this. 4. Now, you will see a download list in the right side of this window. Interact with this list. 5. Now, you can see the book being downloaded and, if you interact with it, you will be able to monitor its progress. 6. When done, the zip file will open automatically, and, the zip version will be relegated to the trash. 7. The book is now ready to be transferred over to what ever device you wish to read it on. 8. Assuming, however, that you've set Safari to not open safe files, (this is my own choice.), you will need then to navigate to the zip folder and press command+o on it. this will unzip the folder. Now, in this case, you will notice the zipped and unzipped copies. Put the zipped version in the trash, if you wish. HTH. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!

And if you wouldn't mind, please describe how unzipping them is possible to get the files I need in order to play these books? Thanks again.

I download bard books all the time, usually when you unzip them, a folder is created that contains all of the files, copy that to your player, works great.

I was recently presented with a challenge when downloading bard books. Is there some sort of progress indicator I could somehow receive so I know when it has finished downloading in Safari? And beyond that, what is the best way to extract the zip contents of the folder? Wehn I use the default program on the mac, or even iZip, it doesn't extract anything useful and i get a folder with a .zip.CPGZ extension. I ended up using windows through a virtual machine to get the book downloaded and extracted as their was progress indicator's given, and I was able to successfully extract the folder contents then put it onto a supported device. Help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Rachel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
