Hi Barbara,

I'll answer your questions within your message.

How do I register Book Port so that I can use Book Wizard on my computer? From 
where do I get the authorization key? 

You don't need to register Book Wizard in order to use the Book Port.  You only 
need to register it if you want to use it to read books on your PC.  In that 
case, you have to buy a registration from APH.

Also, according to the Book Port manual, someone can only speed up audio files 
by 1.5, 2, or 3 levels. Is it possible to speed up the files in more gradations 
than those outlined in the manual?

When you type Alt-O in the transfer software and choose Advanced Audio Options, 
there is an edit box where you can type the speed you want as a decimal - 1.3, 
1.7, etc.


Also, is there a key on the Book Port device that would allow me to speed up 
and slow down the audio files? According to the manual, there isn't. Is this 
correct?

No there isn't.  You specify a speed before transferring and the file is 
transferred at that speed.  There's no way to change the speed once it's on the 
BP.

Finally, it says in the manual, that the preview section of the transfer 
software will play back the audio file after I com     press it. How do I get 
the device to do this?
   
It happens automatically; when you arrow to an audio file, it starts playing 
using whatever speed and compression choices you have made.

HTH,
Anna
