I tried downloading the updated Plague of Shadows ePub novel, but when I open the zipped file I just see another set of folders rather than a book. I know I had this problem before, and I fixed it by just opening it a different way (think I opened and then saved or something like that), but it's not working this time. This is the first download I tried since we got our new computer. In case it matters, we have Windows 7 with Office 2010. Any idea how to get my computer to stop taking apart my book?

Use a different unzip program than the one built into Windows. I recommend 7zip.
You should have been getting a .epub file rather than a .zip file. You can use the files you have by changing the extension from .zip to .epub, rather than unzipping them.
I've also tweaked our server settings so that if you try to download the file again, you should receive a .epub file instead of the .zip.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
(We did have this problem before, and the fix was the tweak I described above. However, we recently did some upgrades on our servers that apparently wiped out the tweak. Thus the re-tweaking. Okay. I need to stop saying "tweak".)
Tiger Lily - I've peeked into your post history, and it looks like this post might also help jog your memory if there's anything else you need to do.

I think this did the trick. No problems with download now. Thank you!

Thank you, I've saved all this is a word doc now for future reference.
