The current software for the BookPort supports: txt, rtf, doc, brl, brf, htm, html, daisy, mp3, wav, and audible.com format 4 files. I believe that is the entire list, but I may have missed some. The current price I believe is $395. If you call APH they can give you the warrantee info, etc. It is a fabulous product in my humble opinion.
