It would be nice if less would save bookmarks. for brf files, this btv program of lee's is doing a nice job of starting up where I left off. For some of the bookshare xml files, you can just change the name to html and view in your browser. from there I converted to text and then to brf. works fine for some things, but probably would hit snags with more technical material. Of course, you don't get the audio part of the so-called "daisy" file that way, but at least there's a way to read the content. I still hope that "Exploring Expect" will make an appearance on bookshare. I had fun with it even though I did not need it in the end to automate nfbtrans. -- Cheryl
