I might be inheriting both a Book Courier and a Book port. Please pray that
I do get them both! It's a sad way to get stuff, though by loosing a close
friend. I would rather have her back and have to purchase those two items,
and I miss her terribley. She loved BookShare. I think of Carolyn Rhodes
every time I download books, and every time I read Star Wars books.
Sadly, Pat Ferguson
I am saving up for a Book Courier and I also use my braillenote.
The book courier is a MP3 player but also offers some other features.

Hello Pat and all,
I will follow up on Pat's general request. At this time the iPod is still not totally accessible. Not having the need for small, light weight player/storage until now what are folks using? How do you like it? Amounts of storage? General cost points?
I am looking at audio over Braille.
On a side note, Apple has just released their new version of Mac OSX which now includes a built in screen reader. I have played with it some and it is fairly solid for version 1.0 of Voiceover.
On the readers feel free to drop me a note off list Kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jana and Everyone,
I have a 2 gig CF card, and 2 5 gig PCMCIA cards. lol. I wonder how many books I'll get on the 2 gig CF card. lol.
I just love this facinating technology! I'm crazy about all this digital storage!
Now, here's another question for all of you.
Which is better, the Book Port, or the Book Courier? I wish they were not so expensive.
I want some tiny form of technology that I can put books and music on but I don't want to buy an Ipod. You can write me off list if this subject is too off topic.
Thanks so much for all your help.
