Hi Mandy
I think the main UK dealer for the Book Courier will be either Techno-vision
Systems or Computer Room Services. Both have representatives on this list.
As far as where you can get books is concerned, it will read plain text
documents using an internal speech synthesiser, such as the texts from the
various public domain archives out there, like Project Gutenberg, or any
books you have scanned yourself. It will not read e-books in formats such
as pdf format, or Microsoft Reader format, which are the main filetypes used
for commercial ebooks. It will play mp3 files and daisy books such as those
from the RNIB Talking Book Service if you have a big enough compact Flash
card to copy them onto, and you can also play any audio books you have
bought from audible.com on the unit. I think that's it, I'm sure George and
Steve can give you more information if you need it.
James
