Hi there. I own both devices. They are very similar. The main difference is that book port has several features that are especially for blind users. It's a bit easier to navigate I think on the book port, and the book port does allow you to navigate by a letter at a time. The bookcourier has some pluses too however. It has a key describe function that will tell you what each key does, which makes learning the functions very easy. Also, I have found that bookcourier is much more responsive when moving through mp3 files. Bookcourier is a bit cheaper. Other then that, they are very similar in what they do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim" <jazzpiano@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookcourier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2004 2:27 AM Subject: [bookcourier] new to the list. > Hi listers, > I am new to this list, and joined to try to learn more about Book courier.
