Hi Nancy,

Unfortunately, I couldn't go to that page without ordering another copy.  

RegNow, part of Digital River, is the company that handles transactions for 
Sound Taxi.  I called RegNow customer support who told me that you may call 
them to place an order.  The number is 
1-800-442-3172.

Regards,

Don...

  Hello don,

  This is a bit off topic, but I just went to the Sound Taxi web site, and I 
got stuck in the ordering and privacy links. The credit card page says you must 
review and agree to the policy, but doesn't provide a jaws friendly way that I 
can find to get back to the place your order button.

  Any suggestions. I will be thrilled if this solution works with the book port.

  Thank you Nancy

  Greetings,

  I need to correct my message from yesterday, below.  I said W M F rather than 
W M A.  Sound Taxi can convert any file that is playable with Windows Media 
Player to M P 3, including Unabridged / Overdrive Books.

  Regards,

  Don...

    Hi Andy,

    As you've already read, BookPort does not play W M F files.  However, they 
can be converted to M P 3 files by a program called Sound Taxi ( 
http://www.soundtaxi.info/ ).  Sound Taxi is a $15 program that can convert any 
file that Windows Media Player can play to M P 3, regardless of protection.  
You may also download a free trial to see if is suitable for use with your 
screen reader.

    Regards,

    Don...

      Hi, I have some books that are borrowed from the Unabridged library 
system.  It is managed with the OverDrive program and I can read them either 
with the overdrive program or Windows Media.  I guess that the extension is 
WMA.  Can the bookport except this?  Do I need to get a player that will play 
these types?  If that is the case, can someone suggest a very good player?  I 
need it to be blind friendly of course.  Also, I will need tons of room due to 
I am a audible book buff because of the BookPort.  I really love this bookport. 
 Andy.
