This is when it was connected.

The only way to see both updates is to have the bookport connected to the computer
Then go through the options menu.

I have been in the beta program. that is why I noticed that there was no longer a web update for firmware in the options.

When I connected by BP on Saturday, I first was notified of the firmware
update. After installing it, the _next_ time I connected, I got the software
(Book Port Transfer) update. This is the normal process, for those who
aren't in the beta program and, thus, experienced with updating the BP.

What happened to the web update for firmware in version 2.2? Mine only
shows web update for software.

Ok, so here's my question regarding that update:
Do I have to somehow reformat my 2-gig memory card in order to enjoy the
benefits of the larger digital book file size? Those darn six-cassette
sized books from NLS can create a pretty mean MP3 file that casts a
truly significant shadow on a 2-gig card, even at 24 KBPS. The old limit
was 250 Meg, and I'm dealing with a situation where the late and
lamented Agatha Christie waxed long and eloquent to the tune of about
260 Meg. So please, someone, help me understand what I have to do to
expand my file size limitations. I think I'm already running the
affore-mentioned update.
Last thing: If I have to reformat the card, can I do that with the traditional Book Port Four-Finger Salute? Or must I ease the card into a card reader of some kind and reformat it as fat32?
Sorry if all these questions have recently been covered. I delisted myself a few months back, needing a bit of a breather.

We are very pleased to announce that Book Port 2.2 has been released.
To get these updates, start the transfer software with your Book Port connected to the USB port and your system connected to the internet.
If the update does not start automatically, go the the Advanced section of the Options dialog and press the Firmware and Software update buttons.
The following enhancements and corrections were made to Book Port, Book Port Transfer software, and the documentation.
Version 2.2, March 2006
* Adds additional levels of navigation for Digital talking
Books. Earlier versions supported level 1 and any other level. Now,
the navigation commands move to levels 1-5 then to any level.
* Eliminates the restrictions on the size of audio files you may
send to the device. Earlier versions of the firmware supported a
maximum file size of 256 MB. There are several Digital Talking Books
that exceed this size, however, and this version removes this
restriction.
* Raises the maximum flash card size from 2 GB to 4 GB.
* Increases the maximum text file size from 4 MB to 16 MB.
* Adds alarm capabilities.
* Adds the Next Alarm and Back Alarm commands to move from alarm
to alarm.
* Adds the Enable Alarms option to the Settings menu.
* Adds the Disable Alarm command.
* Adds the Delete Alarm command.
* Adds the Swap File command.
* Adds the Move File command to move a file from one folder to
another.
* Returns the name of the file to the information you get with
the Statistics command.
* Enhances the feedback for the Spell Word command. Now, the
unit announces punctuation and capitalization as it spells the word.
* Changes the behavior of the Send Text as Line Oriented
control, so when this box is checked, Book Port Transfer no longer
places sentence marks at sentence breaks.
* No longer uses mp3 id3 tags as the title of the file.
* Changes the bahavior of the Read key. Now, reading resumes at
the word on which you stopped. Previous versions always started back at
the beginning of the sentence.
* Adds support for high-bit fraction symbols.
* Corrects the problem of the reading pointer falling behind
when you stop. This is a function within the software, so you will need
to resend any file that exhibits his behavior.
* Corrects the problem where the manual did not get updated on
the unit if the user required a full install.
* Corrects the problem where new beta testers could not
participate in the beta test process.
* Adds support for Daisy books with multiple skipped pages.
* Corrects some problems with the "Go To Page" command on some
Daisy books.
* Removes the Fix File System errors button from the software
and stops checking on firmware updates. (This function does not work
with fat32 file systems.)
* Adds the Program Temporary Folder control that lets you
specify where temporary files get stored.
* Increases the speed at which mp3 files get encoded.
* Corrects the problem of having a note with a blank line as the
first line of the file.
* Added the ability to set bookmarks in unindexed audio files.
The resolution is one second, so if you try to set a bookmark within one
second of an existing bookmark, the command will actually clear the
existing bookmark.
* Alters the way the folder name is announced when attempting to
read files in an empty folder. Before, the unit provided the short name
and the entire path, now, the firmware announces only the name of the
empty folder.
* Provides extended statistics on a file when the user presses
the 8 key regardless of whether the file had been played or not. This
corrects a longstanding issue that required you to have pressed the play
key at least once before you could obtain statistics.
* Changes the beeps to spoken announcements when the user sets
or clears a bookmark.
* Adds the command "Announce Elapsed Time." This is accessed
with the 5 key in both idle and reading mode for audio files.
* Changes the behavior of the To and From Notes Command. Now,
you do not need to close the note before issueing the command.
* Adds the Lock and Unlock command while in the notetaker.
* Announces the folder's name when the folder is empty.
* Adds the Power move commands to unindexed mp3 files.
* Adds the announcement of elapsed time in status for unindexed
mp3 files.
* Bug fix: If the user tries to lock a file in an empty folder,
the unit doesn't say that there are no files to lock.
* Bug fix: unindexed mp3 files were improperly locked.
