I know that some Bookshare books need to be force-unzipped into an empty folder; the unzip process won't create a subfolder for them. Others do not require this extra attention. I don't know why. This may be the same phenomenon. One needs to create a folder first, then unzip the book into it, then the book reader will find it.

I've been zipping and unzipping files for years, and although I don't claim to be an expert, I also didn't expect to be stumped by unzipping NLS books on the Braillenote, especially since I did two right but two others don't unzip into a complete, unified book. My guess is that I did something different with the successful files. I have four downloaded items: 1. The Book Brightsided from the BARD site. 2. Newsweek (2-21-11.) (From APH.) 3. The Week (2-14-11.) 4. Reader's digest (3-11) from APH. All four were copied from my PC to an SD card, which still has room to spare. The first two successfully unzipped into DAISY books the Apex could see, but the last two unzipped into the the My Books folder as I specified, but the Apex doesn't see them as books: I see the individual files, but can't read the books in DAISY form. They're not displayed in the book reader, even if I use space-x on the BT and look at the list of Daisy books. Of course I could put them in directories on my PC and copy those directories onto the Apex, but I'm curious about what works and what doesn't if using those zip files on the Apex, and what I might have done differently with the working books. In at least one successful case, I know I deleted the original zip file, but I actually wanted the rest to remain on the SD card for later use.
