Hi Guy,

I use the BC for MP3's too. By upgrading to the latest firmware you will be able to move backwards and forwards in 10 second steps within audio files. But you must use the transfer tool to move files to the BC to get this functionality. I find it very useful.

More features for MP3 playback are coming in future firmware releases.

Bruce.

Thanks Bruce
I intend to operate MP3 Audio files mainly. I find the voice synthesiser
installed within the BC very difficult to listen too for long periods of
time. This and the voice recorder are the only weaknesses contained in such
an otherwise excellent device.

Hello again Guy,

I can't find the recommendation for where to buy Flash Cards in the UK but
you can search for a source on http:\\froogle.google.co.uk

Search for something like "2GB compact flash".

Note: Compact Flash type 2, sometimes called microdrive, does not fit in the

BC. You need Compact Flash type 1.

Bruce.

Hello

I purchased the Book Courier console  just over 12 months ago and it has
proved   to be a very handy resource. However, at the time of purchase
there were a couple of bugs inherent in the device i.e. Table of contents
did not work  and I had some problems  with the time features. Could
anyone
let me know  if these problems have been resolved, furthermore would any
UK
BC user   recommend  a good  size memory  card  that I could purchase an
where it could be brought.
Cheers
G

Hi. Nope the list isn't new. It's been around for at least a year or so.
That's how long I've been subscribed at any rate. A few weeks back there
was a huge argument on list about batteries. I'm guessing that since
then, everyone's been kind of hesitant to say anything, or maybe a bunch
of people have unsubscribed. It's good to see people posting again
though.

MessageHello to all on the list
I just joined the list and I think that this list is kind of new so it
sounds like its just starting out this year.
I have a book courier and like the way it works and hopefully the updates
to its features will happen very soon.  A few more features  comming out
for
it and it will be a very excellant device for me.

well, Humm!
is it just that there isn't any new news with the bookcourier? Or,
is it that every one is geting ready to go to conventions, or, have
already
left or is there just so few subscribers to this list that it's silent ?
What's the deal?  I haven't gotten any mail on this list since June 18,
05!

Hi There:

My thanks to all of you who provided comparisons between the Book
courier and the Book Port.

I'm pleased that as a Book courier user it certainly looks like I
bought the better product.

I was also considering purchasing the Book worm from Handiest in
Germany, with its Braille output. However, it only contains 4 megs of
memory, and will not store read mp3 or even brf files.

Once again, thanks to all of you.

Peter walsh.
