Hi Rick. I will attempt to answer your questions.

1. It may be that you should update Book Wizard Reader using the "Check
for Updates" option. There was a bug that sometimes caused the first
portion of a book to be omitted. The bug has been addressed but I am
unsure as to whether this fix has worked its way into a release, though
it will soon if not already.

2. Yes, you will need to purchase a fully lisenced copy of BWR in order
to use it for reading the entire content of RFB&D books because of the
15-minute limitation.

3. . FS Reader would require the purchase of another key from RFB&D I
believe, though RFB&D would be the authority on that question. Book
Wizard Reader has already been lisenced for RFB&D along with the
Bookport so you are fine there. The electronic version of BWR is fine
and there is no great advantage to purchasing the CD.

4. Money Talks is an excellent product, though it is not as
sophisticated or complex as Quicken. I use it for my own personal
finances and find it to be a great help. Check out the demo to get a
better feel for what it will or perhaps won't do.

Perhaps this helps.

Regards,
Keith

Hello,

I know that part of APH's Book Port Transfer, a demo of Book Wizard
Reader
is installed.  I recently installed my RFB & D Authorization key.  It
is
working and I loaded my book into the Book Port.  However I discovered
sort
of by accident the following:

Not all of the content of the book was on the Book Port.
Missing was the introductory section of the book, the title page, table
of
contents and introduction.  The file on the book port had all the
navigation
right on, the page numbers, the greater sections were navigable.  

On noticing this, I put my RFB & D book cd into my pc to see what if
anything I could discover.  I have a licensed copy of FS Reader and
the
aforementioned demo of Book Wizard Reader both on my pc.  The FS
Reader
would NOT read the file and said I had not the authorization.  But the
Book
Wizard did pop for me to put in my PIN number, and it read for fifteen
minutes.

So this made me wonder about 3 things:

1. Why is it do you think that not all of the book was delivered into
the
book port?  I  did replicate the transfer onto another CF card with the
same
result.

2.
I assume I would have to purchse full version of the Book Wizard
software in
order to use this.  Is this correct?

3.
Would I have to purchase yet another authorization key to use the FS
Reader?
Tjos question I know does not relate to APH or the Book Port, but I'm
curious.  I really liked how the Wizard did, it seemed to read much
smoother
and navigate a bit better than the FS reader does using speech.  So I
am
considering purchase of the full version.  I would guess that
electronic
version would work okay with RFB & D books. Is that right, or would the
CD
version be better?

4. Okay, here is another question about another APH product.  I am
really
tired of battling Quicken year after year with access issues, and
though I'm
using it okay, I have been thinking of looking for another
application.
While looking at the Book Wizard on the APH website I ran across a
software
called Money Talks.  I am considering purchasing this, and I wondered
if
other Book Port users or APH customers might comment to me off list if
they
would choose.

Thanks.
Rik
