Oh, you bad, bad person! I kind of wondered whether activation was
necessary. Hey, hasn't Audible.com's quality gotten much, much better
during the past couple of years? I've noticed that they're removing most of
their old titles which weren't available in Format Four and are trying to
replace them. Of course, the titles which we purchased back then are still
available even after they've been withdrawn. I just repurchased a new
version of George Eliot's "Silas Marner" which is available in Format Four.

I find your comments interesting, and probably true. I also discovered that instead of transfering files using Audible Manager that I could use the BookPort transfer software, go to the folder where the books are actually stored on your PC and transfer them and they worked. Strange thing was that at that point I hadn't even activated the BookPort with Audible. Don't ask me how it happened or why. All I know is that it worked. So, I decided that since it worked I wasn't going to ask questions and maybe get answers I didn't necessarily want to hear.

: it--but--but, it seems to me as if our units are being granted special
: status. For one thing, all other devices must receive transfers through

: traditionally marketed units and you've not tried activating your Book
: Courier, give it a try. It worked for me, and I'm certain it will for you.
