This is something that we are taking a very close look at. We hope to have a solution this year. >>> tspivey@xxxxxxxxxx Tuesday, February 07, 2006 11:59:35 PM >>> Hello. I am a windows and linux user, and would like either the specs of the data files to be published, so a utility could be written to transfer books to the bookport (of course, the files would have to be converted by external utilities to text, but that is easy). or, a way that you could pre-convert a bunch of books into a directory that is suitable for copying at a later time to the bookport. The bookport shows up as a mass-storage device under Linux, so it can be communicated with. Are you using external libraries not written by aph preventing you from publishing the specs for the bookport's index/bookmark file formats? Thanks, Tyler
