Walt, connect your BookPort.
Open the b p transfer utility.
Press the options button, go to the tab called advanced, then tab over I
think it is 5 times to hear activate. That'll do it.
The key to activating BookPort is you must have it connected. Once you do
this, the b p transfer software will ask you for your audible id and
password. I assume it is then sent off to dear old audible, and you are
good to go. It is instantaneous.
Hint to folks: If you are looking at formats for books and you have a
previously registered device such as audible otis, don't connect to audible
with the b p connected. It sees an activated device and thinks its otis and
won't show you format 4. I found this out when checking on the numbers of
my books I thought were not in format 4. While there are a few not in 4,
most weren't in 4 because I had b p connected. Audible doesn't know B P on
its web site, so all it sees is what you may have had previously told it you
activated. Hope that makes sense.
Happy reading!
