Hallo There!

I've only been using Book Courier for a month and have found it to be a most 
useful piece of electronics.  Previously, when I travelled, I couldn't read any 
books, as a laptop was almost as much trouble to carry around as a desktop!

I bought my Book Courier with open eyes, as it were, having listened to Exact 
Pete on-line.  However, I still found it amazing that Springer isn't using a 
better voice.  To my mind, there is so much better available now.  I put this 
point to support, suggesting Eloquence or IBM Read.  They told me, in a very 
courteous reply, that this issue had been discussed often before on the list 
and that there were as many preferences as there were voices.  So I apologise 
if I'm introducing a hackneyed subject, but don't you guys think there's 
something better out there than Double-Talk?

Regards.

Bennie
