If Kell wanted to put text files on the BP, he/she (Sorry. I'm assuming you are a "he", but just in case you are not...) would have to use BP Transfer.

That makes since to me, I wonder if a card formatted on the bookport, would be read in a card reader plugged in to your mac. If so, you wouldn't have to hook up your windows machine to anything else. No real need for virus protection, internet connection, or anything else except the card reader.----- Original Message ----- From: "Kel Day" <kday@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 6:55 AM Subject: [bookport] Re: Newbie post Thanks for your suggestions, Monica. My problem is, I guess, fear of the unknown. I imagine costly virus protection, system crashes, etc. I do have family and friends with PCs of course, but I can imagine the friendship cooling should olâ?? Kel come knocking on the door each morning to download newspapers etc. Am I incorrect in assuming that once the Book Port is initially configured on a PC, it should be possible to download stuff via an internet browser on any platform??? Even if one were to download to any drive on any platform, would it not be feasible to simply transfer to the Book Port flash card?? Of course, Iâ??m unable to test this theory until I get the BP configured... I shall report as I progress (or not).  On 22/09/2007, at 6:10 PM, Monica Willyard wrote:Hi.

Another option might be to buy an older used computer from Ebay, at a local pawn shop, or used computer store. My dad just bought a PC running Windows 2000 for $125 including shipping. He's using it has a file server and as a hook-up for his digital camera via USB. A machine like his would work well for working with your Book Port including handling Audible books. It has a built-in network card and could even work on a network with your Mac.
