[BlindTlk] How do I Recover Downloaded Books in Google Chrome?

[Raul Gallegos]

Hello, a couple of things. First, no matter what you are downloading, 
whether it is books or zip files or executables, by default they will go 
into your downloads folder. The downloads folder can be accessed outside of 
chrome by simply pressing the Windows key together with the letter e to 
open the file explorer, then typing the letter d until it says downloads, 
then pressing enter. As to your specific question, if shift F6 does not 
work, you can always press control j and it will open the downloads web 
page from Google Chrome which points to the same directory and also allows 
you to re-download past downloads. This is of course assuming you are using 
windows. If you are using a mac, the commands are slightly different, 
specifically accessing the downloads folder. Thanks and good luck.
