As I remember, there is a list of some places in a chapter near the end of the
BookPort user manual, and they also have a list on the APH website in the
BookPort area of the page. Project Gutenberg is a very good source of books.
I have not been there for several years, but the last time I looked the
University Of Virginia had a large collection of books that could be downloaded.

and have used audible.com files. Just wondering if anyone has any other
suggestions.

second volume using NotePad, edit out the title page and other extraneous
stuff, then copy the remaining data to the clipboard. Finally, I open the
book's first volume, go to the end of that file, and paste in the material from
the clipboard. I've never found a faster way of doing it, but it works and
actually doesn't take more than a minute or so per volume. I just performed
this action on Gone With the Wind and Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy
yesterday, both of which are quite large. For the two books it took about
twenty minutes, but there were more than twenty volumes involved all told.

: >> I am quite new to the bookport and am wondering if there is a way of
making multiple files into one. (I mean, I download e-braille books from the
CNIB, and they are mostly 6 or more files that you must download). Is it still
possible to go by page, word, etc etc, even if there are multiple files? Iether
then that I am thoughrely enjoying the unit. It is small, portable, and able to
go anywhere with you weather it be in your pocket or just in the palm of your
hand. Not to mension, I love to read.
