If transferring .txt format material to the Book Port via the transfer program is taking more than a few seconds, something is _seriously_ wrong. Even when converting these to audio, there's no way it can possibly be taking more than a very few hours and that's even generous. A day and a half is utterly unprecedented and proves that something's very wrong somewhere. I'd start with a thorough virus and spyware/adware cleanup of the hard disk and if that doesn't work, then uninstall and re-install the transfer program. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Carter" <r-carter@xxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 11:47 AM Subject: [bookport] Re: supporting unfiltered files Hi Allen, If txt files are taking a long time to transfer, then something is wrong.
