No. They are separate. Book Port Transfer is what you use to transfer. Book
Wizard Reader is a Daisy Reader. However, in order to transfer Daisy material,
Book Port Transfer needs to get the information out of the Daisy book. And, it
gets that from Book Wizard Reader.
Usually, they do update simultaneously, however, there have been instances
where Book Wizard was not updated, so that's why it doesn't hurt to check it
separately. However, I think your issue might be similar to another one we're
working on.

So Book Wizard is the same program as BookPort transfer? I went to three BP
transfer options and clicked on update software. There were no updates
available (anyway, it checks automatically for updates each time I open it).
But do I need to specifically update Book Wizard aside fro BP Transfer? if
so, how?
