If you go to the list of folders that are on your Bookport, arrow to the folder you created for your Daisy books, and press enter, the books you transfer will indeed go to said folder. The PC doesn't even confirm files you move to a certain selected folder will go into that folder. If you have entered that folder, it is understood.

I had a folder created, I just wanted it confirmed that that was where the book was going. All it says is how much of this heap of stuff would you like? Ok then. Off we go! No confirmation that it is in fact going to that folder.

I've setup a books, as well as a magazine folder. Prior to transferring your daisy book from the CD, bhoose, say, your booksfolder, and it should appear in there. Carin if you like, I can talk you through setting up a folder offlist.

Sandy Licht Jeremiah 29:11 - 14.For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.
