It's not updated _every_ time you connect. It's updated when you connect and the system detects that there is a new version of the firmware available, so if you don't receive a message after connecting your BP, that means you have the most current version already installed. This is true regardless of whether you run the released software only or are a beta tester. ----- Original Message ----- From: "franklin johnson" <franklin1234@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2006 12:29 PM Subject: [bookport] updating firmware and software In reading the manual I thought I saw where BookPort was automatically updated any time you connected with the computer. I have not been able to find the information again to verify and with my over-full aged memory a mental error may have occurred.
