Hi David,
I think I can answer your question very well.
If your setup like myself, I use computers with External devices, such as
it
would just happen to be the laptop I use to interface my Bookport, which
uses an external CD drive. Using the bookport interface software, I was
able to access the external CD drive just as if it were built into the
computer itself, I've even been able to pass book files from my external
Zip
drive attached to my laptop.
I myself have probably over 2 thousand books, which doesn't include the
books they include on the CD that comes with the bookport, and because I
use
more than one computer to read books, I usually store most of these book
files on CD's or Zip disks.
In fact using the Bookport interface software, I was able to access and
copy
files to the Bookport from other computers through my network I have
setup.
I hope this answers your question

I think the original question might have been intended in a different
manner
than has been interpreted, and this is something I, too have wanted to
know.
If I'm misinterpreting the question, accept my apologies, but if anyone
can
answer mine, please do. If you connect any sort of external drive to
your
computer and populate it with prospective Book Port files and folders,
can
they be accessed in the usual way using Windows Explorer or the Book Port
software? I've wondered this for some time and have considered acquiring
some sort of peripheral memory. I have four or five gigs of text and BRF
files and twice that amount of audible stuff, and would dearly love to
move
this to an external source. Moving it to CD's is ok, and I have zipped
copies of most things on CD's, but many of my folders are too large to be
accommodated by a CD in an unzipped format. I'm supposing that any type
of
drive can be accessed by Book Port, external or otherwise, but if anybody
knows for sure, please let me know.
