From the User's Manual:
Sending to Book Port Off Line
Book Port Queueing Dialog
There are often times when you find books or Web pages you wish to read on Book
Port, but your Book Port may not be connected. You may, for instance, be
browsing the Web and run across interesting articles that bear further reading.
You may send those articles to Book Port even if you don't happen to have
your Book Port with you by storing them in the queue.
You send files to the queue exactly the same way you would send files to the
device if the device were connected. The next time you start the transfer tool
with Book Port connected, the program offers to send all the queued files to
the unit.
If you attempt to send files to the unit from Windows Explorer or from Internet
Explorer and the unit is not connected, Book Port Transfer notifies you
with a tone that the unit is disconnected and the software shows you a dialog
stating that the files you just sent will be stored in the queue for sending
when you next connect the unit. You may, in fact,
turn off the notification dialog,
so your only indication that the files went to the queue instead of to the
device is the disconnected tone.
If you are using the program without having Book Port connected to your
computer and you attempt to send files, the software shows you a dialog
reminding
you that the unit is disconnected and that the files will be queued for sending
when you next connect the unit.
When you connect Book Port to your computer or when you start Book Port
Transfer manually and there are files in the queue, the software shows you the
Queue
Management dialog and presents several choices about what to do with the files
in the queue. Your choices are Send Now, Browse, Delete, and Close.
Send Now
If you select the Send Now button, the software immediately sends the queued
files to Book Port and then deletes the files from the queue.
Note that if you start the program manually without having the Book Port
attached to your PC, the Send Now button will not be available.
Browse
If you pick the Browse button, the software opens the queue folder where you
may selectively remove any files from the queue. When you close the queue
folder,
you return to Book Port Transfer's main screen.
Delete
If you select the Delete button, the software removes the files from the queue
then opens the main screen where you may perform any of the normal operations.
Close
If you select Close, the software keeps the queued files and shows the main
screen where you may perform any of the normal operations. To return to the
Queue Management dialog, use the Queued button.
Putting Files in the Queue from Another Program
You may employ other software that gathers files that you will later wish to
send to Book Port. Such programs may include
podcast
aggregators
that automatically download updated content from a variety of sources. It would
be nice if these programs could send the files they download directly to
the Book Port queue, so that you would not have to find the files to send then
worry about deleting the files from the PC once they have been read.
One easy technique for handling this situation is to configure the other
program to put its files directly into the Book Port queue. Book Port's queue is
a folder on your hard drive. Under Windows XP and 2000, the location of that
folder is c:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\APH\Book Port
Transfer\Pending . (Replace your actual log on name with the "Your Name"
portion of the folder name.) Under Windows ME, the folder is
c:\Windows\Application
Data\Book Port Transfer\Pending.
Once Book Port Transfer successfully sends the files in the queue folder to the
Book Port, the pgogram automatically deletes the files from the pending
folder.

Hi All,
Isn't there a way to cue up books without the bp being plugged in? I mean
like a file to put books that are ready to transfer, but you just don't want
to make a transfer right then?
Please help me remember.
Many thanks,
Nancy
