[bookcourier] Re: Cryin' Lovin' and Leavin

Hi,

A PACMate Omni is the newest version of the PACMate software and hardware. 
I bought a used PACMate, but I have to send it in to Freedom Scientific to 
obtain the upgrade to PACMate Omni, which is costing $700 additional.  It 
seems to be both a hardware and software upgrade.  It uses Windows Mobile, 
version 6.0, which is also used in personal digital assistants used by 
sighted folks, so it is also compatible with Windows software on a PC.

  What is an Omni? Never heard of it. What company makes it?

    You may be right: I am having my PACMate upgraded now, so I have not yet 
owned an Omni.

        I think you can use them on a PACMate, the older version.  I believe 
the PACMate Omni uses SD cards.  If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

          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.
