The one other piece a new user needs to know is that you may have to
call RFB&D to register the software before you can successfully
install it unless they have improved that process in the last six months.
So, when you get the CD, call RFB&D to find out about registering
it. That will save you lots of frustration.

You call up RFB&D Member Services and request a CD with the key installation program. It costs $10. The installation program is pretty self-evident; just follow the installation prompts. Once the program key add-on is installed, when you open a book from the CD to transfer to your Book Port using the Book Port Transfer Program, you'll be asked to enter your member key just as you would do were you using a player on your computer or a PTR-1 etc. Then the book will be transferred.
If you've transferred the book to your hard drive, run Book Port Transfer and select the folder containing the files transferred from the digital talking book CD. Then (as I found out on thie list day-before-yesterday), select the NCC.HTML file for transfer. This file will tell Book Port what else it needs to transfer and the process is more-or-less automatic from there. You'll be in a dialogue when the transfer is about to begin wherein you select how much of the book to transfer. It's all in your BP help file except for the part telling you to transfer NCC.HTML.
Good luck!

Hi, anyone know,
Are there instructions how to install the RFB&D copywrite protection key and then download the books from the CD's, or from the RFB&D WEB site?
