[access-uk] Re: Book courier V Book port?

Colin.  You can read a review of these two devices, (published July 2004), at:

http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw050407

To my knowledge the Bookport is still, at the moment, the only solid state 
machine to support the DAISY format, although Springer who make the Book 
Currier say that DAISY support will appear on their machine, although they were 
saying that last summer.  Rather strange because I believe the two players are 
made by Springer.

They are essentially text document readers, (several formats), as well as MP3 
players.  Both have a memo recording facility.  The reviews are pretty thorough 
and website addresses are given so you can go and find out the latest on them.  
Our own Ian MacCrae looked at these two and found he prefered the Book Currier. 
 Both are sold in this country.
HTH.

      Hi Everyone,

  I know that a few of you have suggested this type of mass storage device in 
the past. What I'm after is a revue on either of these, and an unbiased opinion 
on which is the better of the two.

  My reservations are that I will not be able to achieve the maximum 
functionality out of the device that I desire. I would like to be able to revue 
txt files during board meetings and make separate notes on the device at the 
same time. Does anyone know if this is possible? 

  I've seen a list of file types the device supports, but there is no mention 
of aug files, does this mean that aug is not supported?

  Any impartial comments greatly appreciated.

  Colin F
