Someone please correct me if I am incorrect, but I assume, after briefly
looking at the book wizard reader manual that it cannot read books from
audible.com. It would sure be nice if it did because I really like the
ability to speed up and slow down the book on the fly.
Thanks for the help.
And a happy Friday the thirteenth to all of you.

Actually, you can use Book Wizard as a stand-alone product. It can be
used to read the books on the PC as well. If you use the demo version we
provide with Book Port, it would work for 15 minutes at a time on the
PC. If you were to purchase Book Wizard itself, you would be able to
read books on the PC all day, if you wanted. However, neither one of
these things are a factor, when sending books to the Book Port, because
it works differently from there. I just wanted to clarify that, for
those of you who are new to the list and may not be familiar with how
that program works.

Hi,
I do like your suggestion on having the ability to pre-process files and
send them at a later time. It's less of a problem now though because of
mp3s
being readable as unindexed. The only function you looze is book marks
and
who often book marks mp3s, not unless there podcasts.
As to the point about book wizard, it is free to book port transfer that
is,
you can only use it within the book port software. You can't run it
standalone.
Best
