Hello, Peter and lists. Thank you for responding to my questions, Peter. Whether these file settings work or not for all lynx users, to have them prominently placed as suggestions of something to try would certainly be an improvement on what you have on the site right now for lynx users--nothing! I really strongly suggest that you post them prominently, with a link that says something like "suggestions for lynx users". I also strongly suggest that you post something prominently on your website saying that copyrighted files are not yet accessible to anybody but windows users. A great deal of my time has been wasted today and in days past because you have nothing posted about lynx and no explanation of the inaccessibility of your copyrighted files. I'm sure you like to make good use of your time; so do I. Without these suggestions and disclaimers your website is misleading, as it is possible to download at least the first demo "little lord Fauntleroy" with no modifications to one's setup. Based on this success, had i not tried actual searching and downloading, I might have signed up and payed $75. Even had this money been refundable, it would have been a tremendous waste of my time, a possible clerical snarl for you and just plain bad public relations. I'm glad we can at least access public domain books but, frankly, there are other places where I can get public domain books and some of those websites are friendlier than yours. the copyrighted books are the major draw for people, as i'm sure you know. Re: the unavailability of the unpacking tool in anything but windows, I find it puzzling that you designed your website, not so that as many people as possible could use it as soon as possible, but only for one particular OS. You say that those of us using mac and linux are important, but I feel that we are really an afterthought. While I appreciate your replying to my posts, I find the attitude of bookshare's creators and maintainers toward accessibility issues to be sadly narrow and uninformed, and i find your failure to post whatever information you have for those not using windows unacceptable. Also, at the point where you did not really understand that other than windows users could not access the copyrighted books, silence on the issue was understandable. but if indeed you know and are telling me that it is presently of no benefit to me to pay for the use of bookshare, as copyrighted files are inaccessible, not to post this on your site is at the very least negligence. I and others on the blinux and speakup lists will be watching for such a clear disclaimer to appear. I don't know you personally and have nothing against you personally, but the tone of this letter is definitely meant to be harsh. I am extremely disappointed in and angry about bookshare's poor handling of important accessibility issues and failure to diseminate vital information to non-windows users. Cheryl Homiak
