I agree with that. I've actually never really used the search feature, I do
have both products, and use them for different things. The one feature I
think the book port would benefit from is the key describe feature. I do
think bookcourier is much faster when navigating audio files. I have found
though that the file format is the same, so if I send a book to 1 device, I
can pop that card in to the other one, and it reads fine.

Now with those cards becoming so cheap, maybe this isn't a big deal. but I
thought it was pretty nice to get a cheaper price and more memory.
