Alternatives to Bookcourier in the same price range are the Humanware 
Stream and the yet not released palm sized Plextalk. 

More flexible but also much more expensive are the Levelstar ICON andAPH 
Braille Plus

All these devices use SD cards.  Compact Flash cards are now mostly used 
in professional or semi-professional grade electronics because of their 
sturdy mechanical packages, but are fast disappearing from the more 
consumer oriented prods.

[bookcourier] Cryin' Lovin' and Leavin






I'm cryin' 'cause we're not getting another upgrade and it could be the 
end 
of the BookCourier.
I'm lovin' my BookCourier, of course.
I'm leavin' to look for another possibile accessible book/music reader.
I belong to several lists and also work, so I can't keep up with the 
emails. 
When I read these emails about the end of the BookCourier, I was really 
disappointed. I was looking forward to a new and improved one. I really 
love 
and value the BookCourier. I hated the transfer tool though. I will use 
mine 
until I can't anymore. One question I have, however. What to do with all 
my 
flash cards? Are there any other machines out there I can use them on? I 
guess I'll remain on this list in case something comes up. I can dream, 
can't I? Thanks to all for your help and support.
