Your best bet is to grab www.aph.org/tech/bwr_setup.exe.

or even better,

Thanks guys for the information.  Larry, I think I had it installed when I
install the bookshare software or so I think.  I took it off because I was
not using it.  Now, I think Book Wizard was the one that I got from the
bookshare.  Does bookport has one as well that I can installed from the =
cd?
I don't remember seeing it.
Thanks!
Eddie

You can convert your books to text, but there are some real advantages of =

sending them as a DTB, mainly additional navigation, and, as Rob mentions, =
=3D
you need Book Wizard to do that.  It should have been installed by =3D
default.

Book Wizard Reader is not optional if you plan to send Digital Talking =

Books.

Hi Larry,

When I tried sending the new york time .opf file, I got the following
message.
Book Port Transfer
Unable to send Digital Talking Books.
Book Wizard Reader is not installed.
OK Cancel
Dump question but do I really have to install the Book Wizard Reader?  I
never really used it before.  I normally would convert my books into text
form and send it to the book port.

No, you just send the .opf file.

Hi,

When you download the New York Times in daisy format from Bookshare, =
=3D3D3D
you=3D3D3D20
end up with five files after unpacking. Do you send all of them to the =3D
=3D3D3D
Book=3D3D3D20
Port?

Thanks,

Robert Carter
