Your mentioning "User Guide" gave me an idea to write to you and ask if it is a
general manual for using computers for the blind, and if it happens to be so,
could you tell me how could I have it? I am a beginner in this matter and I
would very much like to get some basic knowledge on how to use computer with
more certainty than it is now the case.
Thank you very much -
All the best from

Hi Christeen.
My memory is a little flakey, but I was of the understanding that you could
only import books that were on CD, at least of the daisy variety. I do know
though that you have to use the flaming transfer tool and that there is no
direct way of copying files to the device excepting music in mp3 format. I'll
have a look at the user guide momentarily to remind myself, but I think I'm
correct.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim, yes, I've done all that, been to the website, downloaded the
transfer tool, but I can't get what is on my computer to go in to the courier.
Phew, this is harder than I could have ever imagined. Smiles, from Christine
who was hoping for an Easy solution! lol

Hi Christeen.
Wow, the book courier is a very old piece of kit, I don't know many
people still packing these devices. The Book Courier website should still be
up, its at www.bookcourier.com. As far as I know although there probably wont
be many subscribers to it now, the BC mailing list should still be in
operation. My advice to you would be to download the user manual and latest
version of the transfer tool software, check that your Courier's firmware is up
to date and then use the Daisy transfer function in the transfer tool to import
your book in to the courier. I can't remember the exact procedure, but it
should be obvious enough when you have the documentation.
All the best and take care, Ibrahim.

Hi, Nice to be back on the group again after a time away, now my
question is:
I have just purchased a secondhand book courier and I think it's Great.
I've been using it like I had my ZenStone MP3 player, (which a few of
us on this group purchased and played with when they came out and what fun we
had chatting and helping each-other), but now I want to get to know my courier
better and get more out of it.
I'd like to play daisy talking books from RNIB talking books and am
having problems getting my courier to read the book, now I have downloaded the
transfer tool software and have removed all the other things I had on my
Courier and would love to fill it Properly.
Please, is there an emailing group still up and running which I can
join? If so, could you please let me have the emailing subscribe info?
Thanks for any help.
Regards, Christine W.
