Hi Christine,
Sorry I'm only getting around to replying to your mail now.
I have been using the bookcourier now for about seven years, and think it's the
best device for reading books on the move. My reason for this, is that it
doesn't come with an internal battery, so if I'm on the move, and my batteries
run out of power, and can swop them for another set and read away.
I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Transferring books is easy.
1.. if you open up the transfer tool. You will need to tell it where to
search for your daisy books for example.
2.. Press the alt key, and arrow over to daisy. Press down arrow twice to
where is says (specify library location). Tab to browse, and activate it with
space bar. Choose from where your books are saved, and tab to ok, and hit space
bar.
3..
4.. 2. If you want to transfer a daisy book, you will need to tab to the dais
button, and activate it with the space bar.
5.. It will then display a list of daisy books from which you can pick from,
by using the down arrow keys.
6.. 4. tab to the transfer button, and hit space bar.
7.. 5. It will then give you the name of the book being transferred, so just
tab to ok and hit space bar.
8.. 6. the books will begin transferring to your bookcourier.
9.. Note, this takes a while, the transfer tool is very slow.
Hope that helps, if you ned any more info, just shout.
Brian.

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.

Subject: [access-uk] Book Courier question Please?
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.
