Hi Robert, I did that once, started fresh after the big update messed stuff up. And I was pleased when I switched from my 6S to 7+, because, like you, all of my books just moved over nice and smoothly. But with this most recent update, it would appear that everything that I had from book share that was downloaded prior to the most recent update is now unusable, despite the fact that the books look OK when you look in the book list. I got a sort of response yesterday from the voice dream reader folks, apparently from whoever Winston has looking at the inbox, thanking me for my message, saying they were sorry I was having problems and that my concern would be forwarded to the developer. All very nice, but not exactly the sort of response we had been used to getting in the past. I know there's a much bigger audience for this app now. I am going to look into alternatives. It's just not stable enough. This was a minor update. To have almost my entire library trashed for a second time is just not OK. Mary
