I have not tried to copy a 'formatted' book directly yet but ASCII text
files worked fine copying directly... have not gotten around to installing
BPT onto my computer yet but will pay attention to what my firewall does
while doing so...

I don't think you can copy a book; as opposed to an MP3 file; directly to the card, since it wouldn't be indexed. Also, I don't recall Norton AntiVirus ever asking me anything after I'd installed a new app, but Norton Firewall very definitely does require you to "register" newly installed software that attempts to connect to the network. I wonder if the original questioner really does have Norton Firewall installed and just doesn't know it.

how about directly copying the book onto the card? maybe APH could consider developing a version of the BPT for linux? at least I don't have to worry about AV and firewall not working properly with my application...
