I'm sorry, but your theory won't work. To transfer anything other than MP3 files, you have to use Bookport Transfer. Using a card reader, you can transfer MP3 files to the Bookport's flash card.

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 ol' 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, I'm unable to test this theory until I get the BP configured...

I shall report as I progress (or not).

Hi. I don't know of a way to make a Mac work with the Book Port.
Do you have any friends or family members who own a Windows machine? They might be able to install the BP software and put some files on your memory card for you. 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.
