Joanne Lafferty Ellis Can anyone help me? I have a bookshare membership but haven't downloaded many books. I tried to download one this morning and got a zip folder with a bunch of files with extensions my computer neither recognizes nor can open. One of the files opens the Victor reader but the book isn't in the available books.

Bookshare Also, those of you in higher ed. We'll be at Accessing Higher Ground in Colorado. Please stop by and talk with the team about what's new.

Bookshare Anyone going to International Dyslexia Association in Orlando this week? Please stop by and visit the Bookshare team.

Becky Can Bookshare.org get together with Apple and develop an Itouch Ap? It would provide the capability for delivery of Daisy Format info to 21st century learners.

Kristina King Cohen My daughter and I made it to the library today and enjoyed some Dr. Seuss classics. I hope you enjoyed National Family Literacy Day as much as we did...

Bookshare You'll find Bookshare's Education Program Manager, Kristina Cohen cuddling up with her daughter and some favorite classics today to celebrate National Family Literacy Day. She'll be reading some Dr. Seuss classics to her daughter, whose favorite is "There’s a Wocket in My Pocket." You can find this Dr. Seuss book and... many more children’s books on Bookshare today. If you haven't already, spend a little time reading by yourself or a family member -- and then let us know how it went.

Jim Fruchterman My favorite books are the JRR Tolkien Middle Earth books, specifically the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. Right now I'm reading Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers and Presentation Zen.
