Hi Ibrahim and list:I have noticed that several including an APH staff member have tried to polietely explain to you that while Book wizard reader is provided as a demo, when it is used in the process of transferring Daisy books to your book port, it is fully functioning for the purpose it was provided. As others have said, feel free not to use it if you don't intend to transfer Daisy books. As for demonstration software, bet if you look, you'll find a lot more of it on your system than you think. Time to find a new topic.

Hi.Its all very well for those that use it. I'm sure for many people Book Wizard Reader is very good for its intended purpose. The point I am trying to make here is that BookPort users shouldn't have to download and automatically install a demo of an application. This is a tactic used by many antivirus companies where you buy one product, they will try and sell you their complete security suite or install a demo of said suite on your machine. People who want to use BWR can download it from the appropriate page just as people who want to use the BookPort can download the transfer tool. At least, the transfer tool should give you an option to install the book wizard software and tell you that you are installing a demo. I am one of those people who does not like clogging up my system with demonstration software of any kind no matter what it is used for internally. If BookPort can support daisy transfer, the transfer tool should provide basic book playback functions or in the event of a text based daisy book, the ability to preview the book contents in the preview window without the need to call external applications. As far as I am concerned, BookPort is a totally different product intended for a different audience and group of people than book wizard reader. Many of us use our own software for accessing daisy books such as Victor Reader, FS Reader, Easy Reader and so on.I hope I have made myself a little clearer and apollogise for the confusion I seem to have caused.All the best, Ibrahim Gucukoglu----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara J.

Hi. I do intend on using daisy books, so I guess I'll have to leave it on mysystem. I am going to recommend though that APH produce either a cut downfree version or even better, integrate daisy functionality directly in to the transfer tool. If Book Courier could manage it, I don't see why APH shouldn't give it a shot. All the best, Ibrahim .
