thanks a lot for that got it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pamela Rader To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 3:34 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: books on the book port Hi: You can delete files from the Book Port by pressing b and e on the Book Port itself, and/or by highlighting the book while in the Book Port Transfer program and simply pressing the delete key. Files that have been put on the Book Port have been filtered, so if you want to do anything with them on the PC, you'll need to open the Book Port up under Windows Explorer, or My computer, copy the files over to the PC. There will be 3 files for every book. Two of the 3 files you will not need, unless you plan to copy them back later and want to maintain your place, etc. If not, you can delete them and only copy the file that has the DD extension. That is your actual data file. You would need to go in and delete the DD extension off the end of the file name, using the Rename feature (f2) on the PC. Once you have done that, you can open them in wordpad on the PC. Hope that answers your questions.

Has the book port Transfer done anything to them or they same as they were when I put them on and for example can a text file be read by note pad?
