Hi James, I could not tell from your message, did you first change the book's extension from bks to zip before attempting to unpack it? If you did do this, I apologize, I just could not tell from your message. I've been able to unpack bookshare books using this method, but unfortunately I haven't tried it in Linux yet. Good luck with it, and please let us know if/when you get a response from bookshare.
