Margo:
We provide the demo of Book Wizard, so you will be able to send the
Daisy books to Book Port. So, if that's all you want to do is send the
books to Book Port, you are fine. If, however, you wanted to read the
books while sitting at your PC, and you weren't going to send them to
the Book Port, you would only be able to read for 15 minutes, since it
is a demo. If you wanted to read for longer periods of
time--indefinitely--then you would need to purchase the full copy of
Book Wizard.

Pamela, thanks. Okay, now, you say that my Book Wizard I got with the
Book Port is a demo. Can I use it along with the key along with the
Book Port Transfer software along with the RFB and D book to send books
to book port or do I need to buy a copy? In other words, what makes
this a demo--how is it a demo?

As you've noticed, you have a demo of Book Wizard Reader on your PC.
That is the software we developed to read Daisy material. The Book
Port
software works along with that program in order to send Daisy books
to
your Book Port. That is why you need a key for the Book Wizard,
rather
than Book Port.
The key costs around $10, plus shipping. This key will unprotect the
books and allow you to either read them on your PC, or send them to
Book
Port.
I'm sorry if I've confused you further. I just didn't want you to
try
sending a book, then run into that problem. If you were to send one
now,
without the key, all you'll get is the Book Title, with a blurb that
says, "This book is copy protected."

Pam, okay, so, do I just call RFB and D to ask for the key to the
book
wizard product? I am a member of RFB and D. so, how does Book
wizard figure into all this? I know I have Book wizard now on my
computer but what is it and I'm confused about it and the book port
and
don't I read the daisy books on the book Port?

In the case of RFB&D books, because they are Daisy format, you
only
want to send the ".opf" file. If you open Book Port Transfer,
insert
the
CD, then Book Port Transfer will point you to the correct file and
that's the one you send. However, to do this, you would need a key
from
RFB&D for the Book Wizard, which is the Daisy component to our
product.

In order to determine what files constitute the book when ripping
a
CD,
does an audiobook on CD usually just have one file or could it
have
several and if several, how would you know which to choose from?
Same
question for RFB and D books on CD. I've not read one of their
books
on
CD so is there just one file on a CD and if not, how do you know
which
file to send to Bookport?

You need to first rip the CD to an MP3 file, then send the MP3
file
to
the Book Port.

I'd like to know if Bookport will play audiobooks say from a
CD--sending the file or files from a CD. Here's the scenario:
I
go
to
amazon.com and buy a harry Potter audiobook on CD. Can I send
that
type
of file to Bookport?
