Hi Hazel,
Apologies if someone has answered this already. My spam filter is going for it
big time today.
>How long can you use the device without recharging?
If you're playing text files and using batteries that aren't rechargeable, I'd
say somewhere between 50 and 60 hours. MP3 files take up a lot more battery
life. I've never played MP3 files using non-rechargeable batteries, so I've no
idea how long they'd last. Can anyone else help?
I don't think you'll be disappointed if you buy a BookCourier. It seems to be
the most versatile of its kind on the market, and it works out cheaper than
sleeping pills:-)
Take care,
Lynn

Hi Lynn,
Thank you for the very informative answer.
One last question. How long can you use the device without recharging? I
think this is just what I am looking for. Best wishes,
Hazel.

Hi Hazel,
Welcome to the list.
Of all the gadgets I've ever bought, I'd say my BookCourier has been
the best by a long chalk. I go nowhere without it, and I've become an avid
reader since buying it.
I'll have a go at answering your questions. Anyone's welcome to chip in
if you don't agree or can add anything. Here goes:
>Does the book courier read text files as well as playing MP3?
Yes. It also plays Daisy, TNAUK and Audible.Com files, as well as a few
other formats which I can't remember.
>And if so does it allow you to read through a book and spell out words
letter by letter, Word by Word, etc...
Kind of. When reading a text file, if there's a word you don't
understand, you can stop the BC and ask it to spell the word.
>What is the synthetic voice like? Is it easy recognisable?
It's DoubleTalk. I thought it was horrible when I first heard it, but
after a week or so I got used to it.
>How much information can you store on it?
The BC stores its data on Compact Flash type 1 cards, but it doesn't
recognise cards that are bigger than 4gb. I think it comes with a 128mb card,
but quite a few of us have replaced this with larger capacity cards.
>And is it easy to navigate?
Yes, I find it easy.
Cheers
Lynn

Hi Everyone,
My name is Hazel Flannigan, and I am interested in finding out more
about the Book Courier. With the idea of purchasing the product if it meets my
expectations.
Can anyone help me fill in the blanks?
Does the book courier read text files as well as playing MP3? And if
so does it allow you to read through a book and spell out words letter by
letter, Word by Word, etc...
What is the synthetic voice like? Is it easy recognisable?
How much information can you store on it? And is it easy to navigate?
Some of these questions are a bit wide but any help and opinions would
be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
Hazel.
