Good for you, sophie! Sorry yu had to go through the nuisance and anxiety
but resourcefulness is the name of the game here.

Mike, thanks for trying. Another person said they were also able to download
and read it, so it's probably a braillenote glitch. 
Anyway, because of the urgency of the situation, I obtained the book through
other means last week.

Dear Sophie:

I just downloaded the book using my BrailleSensePLUS B32 running the latest
firmware that allows Bookshare downloads. I downloaded both the DAISY and
BRF versions without difficulty and unzipped and opened the BRF
(Braille)
version and could reade it in Braille without problems.

I therefore haven't a clue what's going on.

It's Absalom, Absalom by William Faulkner. Has anyone else had this problem
before?

Tell me the book and I'll see if I can download the .BRF version.

Today in class, I accidentally deleted from my braillenote the book we're
reading for class. So I went on Bookshare and downloaded it again with no
problem. However, when I tried to open it, the book was blank.
There was no
text at all in the BRF file. I tried downloading another book, just to see
if it worked, and it did. The text ppeared just like normal. So then I tried
my school book again, and it was blank again. I am at a complete loss. It is
not feasible for me to download the Bookshare book on a laptop at this time,
and I don't own a victor stream or anything like that. Any help you guys
give me would be MAJORLY appreciated since I need this book, like, ASAP.
