Special Instructions

Free update adds Wi-Fi to Book Port Plus! Version 5 of APH's Book Port Plus firmware introduces many new features, including activation of the Wi-Fi chip! Although every Book Port Plus contains a Wi-Fi chip, the software to utilize that chip was not complete. With this free update, your Book Port Plus will have the ability to stream internet radio stations, receive podcasts, and transfer files from the PC to the Book Port wirelessly. This update is free to all Book Port Plus users. This firmware update also contains many other enhancements and fixes. You can find more information about this update and download the new firmware from this page: http://tech.aph.org/bt_new.htm Book Port Plus represents the latest generation of accessible media player/recorders. Its small size, quality recording, and unique capabilities make it an ideal replacement for cassette player/recorders, earlier Digital Talking Book (DTB) players, or inaccessible commercial digital recorders. Its specialized hardware and software makes Book Port Plus easier to use, more reliable, and more flexible than cell phones or PCs that might perform some of its functions.
