I've noticed recently that when I download a book, I can't easily locate the xml file by going to the folder. I use Spotlight, write part of the title, space and then write xml and the file appears as part of the Spotlight list. I then hit return and Safari opens with the book ready to read. Inelegant, but it works for me, even with new books. Christine On Oct 22, 2012, at 12:40 PM, Harry Hogue <harryhog...@gmail.com> wrote:
