Hi. As far as I know, the BP will take any mp3 file, no matter what bit rate.
As for the book you have in word format, you don't have to separate the book
out into separate chapters.

Subject: [bookport] mp3s and length of books
An mp3 question:
With Kuzweil 1000 and other software, you can create an audio mp3 file of
your book to make an audio book. I have software Premier Assistive
Text-to-Audio. It lets me make different mp3 files at different frequency and
bit rates. The smaller the frequency and bit rate the smaller the file. So, for
example I can choose a frequency of 48 khz and a bit rate of 48 kbps. Can Book
Port use these mp3 files that have the lower rates?
Generally I divide a book into chapter before making the mp3 files. How big a
file can BookPort handle. I've heard with some players, if the file gets to big
(long) the recorder will get confused and loose its location. Has this happened
to anyone.
A text-to-speech, Microsoft Word question:
I also have an entire book in Word format. Can I read the entire book with
text-to-speech or do I need to divide the book up into chapters to use the
text-to-speech feature of bookport.
Thanks,
