You download the daisy format, which comes as a zip or bks2 file. Open that and the mac will unzip it automatically. Now open Olearia, hit cmd-o, and go to the folder into which the mac unzipped the daisy files. Select either of the two the app presents and you should be all set. I don't think it supports audio playback, so downloading the audio version of the book will likely not work. On Oct 13, 2012, at 1:27 PM, Becky Knaub <becnc...@embarqmail.com> wrote:
