I just had success a few minutes ago! I'm thinking clearing the
settings and retrying a couple times may have helped some. Thanks
again for your advice, Vicky!
Lucy and Stacey -- it is definitely still possible to download from
Bookshare on the Apex. It works as normal, with scripting disabled.
The only difference is that it's not as stable and glitches at times,
but I'm glad it has remained accessible.

your message last evening. The page where I had searched for a
title first came up, but I got the download prompt about ten
seconds later. I have scripting disabled, and I have the browser
profile set to the default of BrailleNote Mobile Device. I am
downloading a BRF book, and I'm running a BrailleNote with the
PERKINS style keyboard running Keysoft 9 5 0, Build 1280.

Hi, Vicky--
Thanks for your suggestions! Unfortunately, I am still having the
same
issue. I cleared all those settings with no results. My
Internet is
much faster now, which is positive, but I may have to contact
Bookshare. Would you mind trying to download a title on your
Apex to
see if it is my end or their site?
Thanks again!

I've had this happen to me on several occasions. Sometimes, but
not all, I can wait a bit after the page refreshes and I will
still get the download prompt. While, at other times, I'll have
to log out of the site and back in again to get the book I want.
And, although I don't know for sure this is necessary, but I
almost always tend to clear cookies and history and temporary
files before logging back on to the site. Also, if I wait till
after the page refreshes and then am able to download the book,
once done, I am placed kind of on a blank page and have to use
the back command, and that seems to put me on the page prior to
the one I was on before downloading the book.

Subject: [BNU] Trouble Downloading from Bookshare with Apex
Hi, all-
I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues lately when
downloading books from Bookshare with an Apex. When I click the
"Download" link after the title or on the book's specific page,
it only refreshes the current page, with no prompt to download.
I
clicked into My History, where it indicates the selection has
been downloaded; the same problem occurs if I attempt to grab it
again from that section. I have tried multiple titles. I'd
rather
not have to use a flash drive and transfer the file because I
mainly use my Apex and iPhone. Anything else I should do?
Thanks so much,
