I agree completely. This is the best-designed and best-engineered device of
its kind that I think I've ever seen. I've become a real pest to some of my
friends who don't have them yet and their Christmas lists have suddenly
gained a new item.

Well at the risk of sounding like a broken record--I'll say it again! The
bookport is the best thing to happened since sliced bread, (even better than
that)! This week I got my key from RFB&D and started transferring their
daisy books. The only word I can use to describe the experience is slick!
Navigation in these books works the way you always wish it would. ... And
then the new betas came out! I was able to scan The New York Times over my
coffee just exactly like the sighted people in my life are able to do. Love
the section navigation! Also appreciate the way the "8" key works now. And
another heart-felt "phew!" from someone who has recorded loads of unintended
memos!
By the way APH: The bookport is my "it" machine--I.E. I use it for
everything--daisy, MP3s (mostly converted books and OTR with occasional
music thrown in for good measure), audible books not to mention text and
HTML files gleaned from Bookshare, email newsletters and anywhere else I can
scrounge them from. As a result, I probably go through at least two sets of
batteries a week. To keep my wallet healthy, I use MH rechargeables and
have never been aware of any problems. But if you tell me that doing so is
unhealthy for the Bookport, I'll start looking for a lot sale on AA
alkaline.
I can't thank you enough for such a useful device which just keeps getting
better and better! Fantastic work on the beta!
