I too was disappointed to learn I had to keep copies of anything I wished to
use after it was sent to the B.P.

Hi there. While the bookport is a fantastic machine, the major problem with
it that I have is that once you put stuff on it, using the transfer
software, that material becomes proprietary to the bookport and cannot be
used by the pc. And if you want the navigational functionality the bookport
offers for daisy books, you must use the transfer software. I own both a
bookport and a stream, and was very disappointed when I bought my stream,
hooked it and my bookport upto my laptop, and tried to transfer a load of
books I had on my bookport to my stream, only to discover that the stuff on
my bookport, when looking at it as a drive, had all these funky file names
on it, that windows might as well have laughed in the face. 
Because of this, i love the ease with which you can transfer stuff back and
forth between the stream and the pc. I also have come to prefer the stream's
navigational system over that of the book port. 
I'll stop here before I go off on a tangent.  Lol.If anyone wants to know
more about the stream, please feel free to write me off list at

Take care all.
