Hello Grant,

Even if there is enough space on the Book Port CF card for your file,  =
the
file may take so much space that there would not be enough room for
recording memos and creating notes.  I would like to have the ability to
send a portion of a book so memory space can be effectively managed.  I
propose that there be two ways for the "select audio range" dialog be
activated.  First, as it is currently and secondly, manually.  Your =
proposal
of having the dialog appear for MP3 files is an option that one would =
also
expect. =20

I agree with your suggestion entirely, and I think this has to be done =

Bookport because it's too large.
