Pete, It sounds as though you've downloaded the beta of the Book Port Transfer Tool, but not the Firmware. Go to http://www.aph.org/beta/bpfw_beta.exe to download the Beta Firmware, then install it per the on-screen instructions.

Please select OK and connect to the Internet to update your firmware." When I click on "ok", the Bookport Program pops up and runs on the PC normally. No firmware update is automatically installed. Bookport reports the firmware as version 01.00.04, and That the Bookport Transfer version is 1.4.3.408. Available. I haven't been experiencing any problems with reading, but when I disconnect and re-connect, the same message appears. If there is something I should do to rectify this, please let me know. Thanks. -- Pete (still enjoying this great product!)
