Here is the point, as I understand it:

Do you ever want to access a DAISY book to read it on your bookport.

If not, then you won't need the BWR application, as this shouldn't be called 
unless you attempt to send a DAISY book to your
bookport.

Although the software is a demo, for use as a PC DAISY reader, it is functional 
as a reformatting module for DAISY books being
sent to the Bookport.

With the Book Courier, this functionality is likely built in to the transfer 
software, with the Book Port, it is called as
required.

So, just decide if you ever want to read a DAISY book on your Bookport, and you 
have your answer.

Hi Robert.

Actually, that wasn't the question I asked.  I asked whether the BP transfer 
tool requires the book wizard reader to operate correctly.  Personally, I 
couldn't give a toss about the BWR itself as I use my own software Victor 
Reader Soft which is much easier to control in my opinion.  If you are a 
seasoned BP user, you should know what I am asking of you and be able to 
respond appropriately.

As for flash adapters and other cards, as far as I am aware, no other card 
other than compact flash cards are supported.  If other cards work with an 
adapter, they certainly won't be supported by APH technical support.

All the best, Ibrahim
