[nabs-l] Bookshare books not opening

[T. Joseph Carter]

They're zip files now.  You no longer need the archive utility from 
bookshare--BOMArchiveHelper (built-in Mac utility that runs when you 
double-click a zip file) or The Unarchiver (a free replacement for 
BOMArchiveHelper that handles a lot more archive formats--I suggest 
not using it for .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 files due to a bug) should open 
bookshare books directly now.
