I don't necessarily agree. While I occasionally find it irritating when the 
first line of the book is not the actual title, given the types of books I 
read most (Audible, text, braille), it normally is. I don't want to hear 
"dot txt" or something similar as I move through each of my file names. I 
would withdraw this, however, if the file extension were stripped off when I 
choose to send the file name as the title.

Subject: [bookport] very non-standard, an old issue revisited

I was helping a new user with the Bookport and came to see how non-standard 
(at least to me) the "send filename as title" option is.  I personally would 
like to see this gone, unless there are users who really like to see the 
first line of the file as the bookport file name in which case it should be 
left; I would be surprised.
At least however, it should be checked by default for the new user; 
unchecked by default makes it operate differently from any Windows-related 
file transfer utility.
Just my opinion I realize, but I think it unwise to force new users to tweak 
the first line of every file they want to send to the bp just to get the 
right filename on the unit.  Please check this by default.
