You can convert your books to text, but there are some real advantages of =
sending them as a DTB, mainly additional navigation, and, as Rob mentions, =
you need Book Wizard to do that.  It should have been installed by =
default.

Book Wizard Reader is not optional if you plan to send Digital Talking =3D
Books.

Hi Larry,

When I tried sending the new york time .opf file, I got the following
message.
Book Port Transfer
Unable to send Digital Talking Books.
Book Wizard Reader is not installed.
OK Cancel
Dump question but do I really have to install the Book Wizard Reader?  I
never really used it before.  I normally would convert my books into text
form and send it to the book port.
Eddie

No, you just send the .opf file.

Hi,

When you download the New York Times in daisy format from Bookshare, =3D3D
you=3D3D20
end up with five files after unpacking. Do you send all of them to the =
=3D3D
Book=3D3D20
Port?

Thanks,
