Hello Folks,
I like the BC because it is excelent for reading AUDIBLE. I find it
easy to use, despite the downloading process, it gets the job done.

Hi Graham,
I will soon complete my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy
so I am reading articles from a variety of journals in the areas of
therapy, psychology, and counseling. The BC has been very useful over
the past 3 years for reading articles.

Hi Laura,
I suspect most of the remaning users are hanging onto
theoir bookcouriers for the text reading functionality rather than for
audio, as there are now better audio file players but not better text
file readers.
I also use the bookcourier primarily for reading professional journal
articles and other work related papers. What kind of journals are you
reading?

I am amazed that people are still out there too. I use my BC for reading
text files. I have to convert professional papers from journals into a
text file and then save to the BC, but I agree that the voices are good.
I have AT&T voices on my computer and they are the best, but for a fast
read I use the BC.
