Thank you, Pamela.
I will get this newer version of the book wizard reader and try it.
Quick question.
Should I uninstall the older version of my book wizard software?
If yes, do it before the installing the new that I download from the link
you provided?
Thanks again.
I'm excited to try this.
And that unzip thing does not bother me so much. I has been what happens
when the book was on my Bookport that has been a problem.

Hi Rick, Peter and others:
The latest version of Book Wizard Reader is 1.4.1.0. You can download it
from:
http://www.aph.org/tech/bwr_setup.exe
Unfortunately, we can't do anything about the way bookshare books are
handled with regard to unzipping.
You will need to redownload any old books in order for them to work
properly.

Brian & Book Port folks.
What Peter described is exactly what I still experience with my Daisy files
from Bookshare since they made changes back at the beginning of the year.
Book titles, and even the newspapers from Newsline are no longer labeled and
will just say "file." Also, I now have to use the windows extract to unzip
and when they made this change, I have to put the newpapers and books in a
folder all to themselves. Which is also quite a pain.
At the time some months ago I went around trying to figure this out and
asked some questions. Finally I just gave up.
I am pretty sure I have the latest version of th Bookport Transfer software
already. At least the update process runs and I have not had it say I needed
an update for quite a while.
But you said the newest version of Book Wizard Reader which I installed long
ago but never use.
So I thought, aha. This must be the problem.
I checked what I have on my pc and it says it is running version 1.3.0 of
the book wizard.
I assume that is old.
So do I understand then that I might be well served to update The Book
Wizard Reader?
FYI. When I go into my Help menu on this program and hit ENTER on check for
updates, a box pops up and says there are no updates available.
Still square one?
Or did I miss my square altogether?
I would love to resolve this if it is possible.
Love the Bookport and still like to read bookshare daisy books and newsline
papers.
By the way the newsline papers from NFB Newsline cite do not operate in this
way. So I have been getting them from the website or via email nowadays.
Thanks.
Rik

you can achieve this by downloading the latest version of the Book Wizard
Reader installation package from APH as well as the latst version of the
Bookport transfer utility. I believe the Bookport transfer utility uses
the Book Wizard Reader in demo mode, so there's no need to purchase the
book Wizard Reader if you don't already have it in order to fix the
problem.
