If they already have an application that will do the trick then it makes little
sense to spend thousands of dollars in development costs just to put the same
function into the transfer software. There are better ways for APH to spend
their money developing software for the Book Port.

: 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
