If it's a licensing issue, I would be interested in knowing why the Book Port Plus, Victor Reader Stream, and Booksense all support reading brf and brl?

It sure is strange, what one allows and another does not.

Here's the interesting thing. I contacted the man who did the podcast and he told me it's in the manual that it would read brf and brl. I found nothing in the manual about it. I contacted PLEXTALK Technical Support and here's the email I received:

Hi Russ,
The US English firmware does not support reading brf and brl files.  I
believe it is due to a licensing issue in the US.
Best regards,
Bob

Hi Russ,

OK, then I would have to bow to the superior knowledge of whoever did the
podcast, however, on the FS page at the following URL, they don't list these
2 formats:

Which version of the firmware are you using?

The reason I ask, Lisening to the July FSCast episode 56 Audio Presentation
on the PlexTalk Pocket, it was stated that it would read both brf and  brl
documents.

Hi Russ,

From memory, No, I don't think so but, as my Microsoft Word is playing silly
buggers at the moment, I can't double check my copy of the manual.

No doubt someone will put me right if this is wrong!

If so, how is it done?  I just bought a plextalk pocket, copied a few brf
files to it, they don't show up on it?
