Emma - the 2nd generation shuffles are much better at retaining your =
place in audible books than the first gen. Also smaller and cheaper, =
=A355 for the 1gb which is the bottom of the range. Unlike in the first =
generation you have to pause it before switching off to retain your =
place where as in the order ones you very specificly had to not pause in =
order to have any chance of retaining your place.

Having read Brain Hartgen's page, I believe I am right in saying that =
the Milestone won't play audible books. (If any one wants to correct me =
and make me very happy then please do!) In that case, I'm interested in =
buying either a BookCourier or a BookPort, but would really like to see =
them both and have a play with them before I commit more than =3DA3200. =
Does anyone know of a company that will let you return products? RNIB =
do, but they don't seem to sell either product.
I've read loads of reviews but there is really no substitute to having =
them in your hand! I've booked myself a place at Sight Village so may =
be able to view them in July, but my Ipod nano (the ultimate in =
inaccessibility, and rockbox won't play audible books!) has just packed =
up and I really could do with something before that.
