Hello:
The Book Wizard is the program that sort of decodes the Daisy material and =
gives the Book Port Transfer the information it needs to read the book. =
You don't need to do anything with that, as the Book Port Transfer will do =
it for you.=20
If you haven't already, you will need to download the Book Share unpacking =
tool from Book Share. Once you've installed that, you can go into My =
Computer, click on the book file you want to send (it will have the .bks =
extension), and it will open the Unpacking utility. Follow the steps to =
unpack it. Once you've done that, you can go into Book Port Transfer, and =
send the file with either the .opf extension, or the .brf extension =
(depending on the format of the book).=20

I just downloaded my first Daisy file from Bookshare. How do I transfer =
it=20
to the Bookport? I see the Bookport Wizard Reader. Do I use that, or,=20
what is its purpose?
