Hi Rick:

You keep a balance of funds in your account with the service. As you download 
material you've selected, those funds are charged against your balance. 

There is a one-time charge of $10 to set up credit card payments with the 
service. Then I added $15 to my account. I've downloaded a few things since 
then, but with each album costing around $1, I still haven't exhausted my 
balance. Of course, that can be checked on the site any time.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dave

  Dave-

   

  Thanks for the info.  One question - do you pay a monthly charge plus the the 
songs you download, or just for the tunes you download>?

  Hi Rick and list:

   

  A legal service that provides files that can be readily transferred to the 
book port is www.allofmp3.com

   

  I'm afraid they use visual verification in their signup process and offer no 
work around option. For that reason, you will need a modicum of sighted 
assistance to do the joining process. Once that is done, you can dismiss any 
need for vision being required. This service does not always have everything I 
want, but I have been happy with the material I've bought through it, and their 
prices are reasonable enough. The dearest thing I've bought was a live concert 
of 22 tracks for $2.71. 

   

  You can search their catalogue without signing up, so feel free to check it 
out and easily determine if they have what you want before joining. 

   

  Hope this helps.

   

  Cheers,

  Dave

    Hello Betty:

     

    It might be possible that your problem is not the bookport itself.  But 
lets see what others have to say.  If you have limited space on your computer 
hard drive, there might not be enough space left for the swapping that happens 
when the transfer software compresses the daisy book for transfer to the 
bookport if you are increasing the speed.

      Hello all.  I have downloaded the latest firmware and software updates at 
the prompting of the bookport transfer software.  I have a books folder and I 
transferred 6 daisy books without incident.  I also put a few etext books on 
and then read some daisy books and deleted them.  Now, when I try to add more 
daisy books, I get a prompt that says .mp3 disk is full.  When I check in My 
Computer in the properties, I have more than 2 gigs of space left on my flash 
card.  Is the only solution to reformat the card and retransfer?  Do I need to 
not delete files after I have read them?
