This information is in the Book Port manual:
Updates
The Options dialog provides buttons to check for software and firmware
updates. When you use these buttons, Book Port Transfer checks for the
availability of an update and either informs ou if you are already using
the most current versions or lets you know that there is an update
available. If there is an available update, the Update Available dialog
provides a Details button which you may use to read about the new
features in the update before you install it.
By default, the software checks for updates each time you connect the
device to your computer, but you may have turned this feature off. If
this is the case, use these buttons to check for updates on demand.
Update Software
Press the Update Software button to check for updates to the software.
If updates are available, the program lets you know, then it asks if you
would like to install those updates. If you select "yes," the program
downloads then installs the updates. Note that you must be connected to
the Internet for this option to work.
Update Firmware
Pressing the Update Firmware button makes Book Port Transfer check the
firmware for updates. If firmware updates are available, Book Port
Transfer lets you know and asks if you would like to download and
install these updates. You must be connected to the Internet for this
option to work, and Book Port must be connected to your computer, so the
software can see the unit's version number.
Updating the firmware on your device is serious business, so it is
recommended that you perform this action only after taking some
precautions. First, insure that your battery level reports at least 50%
capacity. Next, never attempt a firmware update while using rechargeable
batteries.
If you use Windows ME or Windows 2000, use the scandisk or chkdsk
utility to insure that your Book Port's flash card is free from errors.
Under Windows XP, this step is automatically taken for you.
Once you download a firmware update, Book Port automatically applies
the update as soon as you disconnect the unit from the USB connection.
It is a good idea to connect your ear buds and put them in your ears
before you disconnect the unit from the USB port, so you may hear the
messages that get announced as Book Port updates its firmware.

I need the information on how to properly upgrade the Book
Port's firmware and software. Is there a web site for this
information on how to do the upgrade correctly?
Thank you in advance.
