Actually I have a Book Port and I am doing exactly that. I don't read text
files on the Stream.

If someone already owns the BC and wants to use it for text file
playback, assuming that the keyboard hasn't given out yet, I don't see
any reason aside from the text search capability of newer devices why
you would want to get rid or replace the BC. I like the stream
because it does everything I'm looking for, but if I liked the
Doubletalk I'd still be using the BC for text file reading.
