Tom:

Greetings from a not-so-cold Texas.  I was in Ireland about 25 years ago in 
April, and I thought it was cold enough then.  Not sure I'd want to know 
what it was like in January.
Do you mean that it actually took you eight minutes to put the book onto the 
Book Courier?  Or did it take you that long to remove it from the Book 
Courier?  And do you know what size card you are using?  It sounds like a 
pretty big book.  I think that those cds hold up to 70 minutes of audio, so 
your book may have been somewhere between 13 and 15 hours long.  Math isn't 
my strong suit, but that's an almost educated guess.
I would expect that putting the files in MP3 format took even longer.  By 
the way, converting the files to MP3 is called ripping.  Who knows why.
Anyway, the Book Courier Transfer Tool is not the fastest program out there. 
I love my Book Courier, but no, it isn't all that fast, so I'm not surprised 
if it took you that long to put a book on it.  Once you finally have the 
book, though, the interface is so easy for a blind person to use.  I usually 
try to find something else to work on while the books are transferring. 
Email is a good choice.  You can also transfer several files at one time, 
which gives you time to go out of the room for a little while and do 
something else.  But you don't want to leave the Book Courier running 
unattended too long because it goes through batteries quickly when connected 
to your PC.
Hope this helps.  If not, welcome to the list anyway.
