To My friends at Bookshare and My New Friends at Book Port, I would like to explain and apologize for the e-mail I sent which has caused such a stir. I sent an e-mail to the Bookshare list asking for input on both the Book Port and Victor Reader Stream, as I am trying to decide which one would best meet my needs. (I was not aware that the Book Port is no longer being sold.) One of the responses came from a Bookshare List member who explained her preferences to me and gave me some advice. In no way was her e-mail disrespectful to either product. She simply gave me her honest opinion. Unfortunately, someone from the Bookshare list decided to forward this e-mail to the Book Port List and the misunderstanding occurred. I don't understand why this e-mail was forwarded, and it doesn't really matter at this point. I simply don't want any further discussion, which I initiated by asking for information, to cause any further stir. I have a great deal of respect for both APH and Humanware as they both provide a wonderful service for us. I was only seeking information from product users. Once again, Please accept my apology for the stir this has caused. Bertha
