If you use a Mac, you don’t even have to bother with all that companion or
unzipping.
The Mac automatically unzips the book, and all you have to do is copy it onto
the sd card or the cartridge.
I know Apple products are not for everyone, but I, for one, am glad I put in
the effort to learn at least part of what can be done on the Mac with VoiceOver
and how to do it and thereby released from these constant JAWS upgrades and the
giant conglomerate of Microbloat, the incompatibilities of JAWS with different
websites and software, etc.
Not an endorsement, advice or recommendation, just FYI, one person’s experience

I'm glad that you are enjoying the stream. There is a piece of software from
Humanware that was developed for the stream 1. It's called the Humanware
Companion Software. Once it's downloaded, it makes transferring and opening
books very easy.

Hi
I definitely am not a blind gadget geek. I have a Windows 7 computer
because Microsoft made me give up my Windows XP computer. I have a flip
phone from Walmart which cost $19.95. I bought a Victor Stream so I could
download BARD and Book share books directly because I didn't know how to
transfer books from the BARD site through the computer. As I said before I
love my stream.
