Hi:
I am also new to the list and am considering purchasing a book courier.
One question. Are there any plans for the book courier to support ogg
files.?

Hi Jim,
May I make a couple of comments that might help your decision.
I have had a Courier for over a year and have nbeen quite pleased with=20
it. My wife has had a BookPort for a year or so and is also quite
pleased=20
with its performance.
The Book Courier comes with a larger stock memory card; 128 meg, vs. 64
meg=20
with the BookPort. Many users of both products increase the size of
their=20
memory cards; ann and I are using the cards that came with the
equipment.
The BookPort supports more file types than the Courier. I have about=20
exclusively used NLS Braille formatted books and Bookshare formatted=20
documents which I have converted to TXT files and they have served me
well.
The Doubletalk synthesizer is common to both products and both products=20
seem to get exceptionally good battery life from alkaline bateries.
Many=20
users use rechargeable cells to advantage.
I think you will be pleased with whichever player you buy; you will have
millions of great hours listening and will wonder how you did it
without!!!
Good luck.
