If that's the way it is with Daisy files, that's the way it is, and I can live with it. But it would be nice if it was different.

Lou,

I must also agree that the bookport is the best piece of electronics I've purchased in a very long time. adaptive equipment or not. I love the thing.

When i load Bookshare.org books onto the bookport though, if they are daisy files, the transfer software always shows them as "Bookshare- 22000,2-1" or some other such identification. I noticed this quite some time ago, and checking the checkbox to show titles in the option menu does nothing to change this. i have checked and unchecked the box to see if this has changed anything, but it does not. It has no effect on my XP or my windows 2000 computer. The transfer software does show Braille files from Bookshare with the correct files though. If this is a bookport problem, i never stopped to think about it, if it can be fixed easily within the transfer software, i would appreciate it greatly. This is not a criticism of any one or anything, I've just noticed the same problem before. I don't want Jim to start thinking he is doing something wrong. however, if I am, PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!

Jim,

First, I agree with you about the BP being the greatest thing going.  As for
your file name problem,  I'm stumped.  I always keep the "show filename as
title" checked and I have no problem.  The file names always display
correctly both in the transfer software and the unit itself.  Lou

Hi listers           ,
I have had my Bookport for two months and I think it is the  greatest
piece 
of equipment I have ever owned.

But I have one problem. I download a number of books from bookshare, and
while the title appears correctly in the Bookport it appears as a code
number in the transfer software.
I have read the manual and listened to Larry's podcast about  the transfer
software. And adapted his method of unpacking the books directly from the
Bookshare site. I have checked and unchecked the Show title as file name
box innumerable times   with the Bookport connected and unconnected and I
can not get the titles to show in the folder d list.
Is there a way to show the title instead of the file number in the
transfer 
program? If so how?

Thanks for any help,

Jim P
