Someone asked about the Select Audio range dialog and how to tell if you =
are actually getting the whole book.

The Select Audio Book Range dialog lets you decide how much content of an =
audio book gets sent to your Book Port.  If your flash card has enough =
space, you may send the entire file.  If the card does not contain enough =
space, you may use this dialog to decide which portion of the book to =
send.

The Select Audio Book Range dialog contains two boxes.  The items in these =
boxes depend on the content you are sending.  If you are sending a Digital =
Talking Book, the selection items are sections of the book that have been =
marked up.  If, for example, the book were marked up with chapters, =
sections, and pages, each item in the lists would be a chapter, a section, =
or a page.  If you are sending a book from audible.com, each item is a 5 =
minute interval of the book.

The first list lets you pick where to start.  Normally, the beginning of =
the book is highlighted in this box.  If, however, the book already exists =
on your Book Port, the highlighted item points to the current reading =
position in that file.

The second box lets you select how much of the file you wish to send.  If =
you have room on your flash card, the End of Book item will be highlighted.=
  Otherwise, the maximum amount of material will be selected.  The =
software prevents you from selecting more material than will actually fit =
on your card.

As you move the starting position, the range highlight automatically =
adjusts to maximize the amount of audio to send.

Normally, when this dialog appears, you may simply press the Enter key to =
get the correct starting point and the maximum amount of material.
