Hi Ed, I haven't had problems using a BP with USB 2.0 ports. I just ignore that XP message about it not working, it almost always does actually work. I don't see a problem with what you want to do with the notes, either.

Without installing the bookport transfer program to the new computer, can I use the windows explorer to copy text files to the notes folder and will I then be able to read them . I know that I won't have the two secondary files copied to the notes folder and that the file will still be shown as a text file. Will the search command still work so that I can find my place in the book using it? Or is there any other way I can use the bookport with this computer. many thanks, Ed,
