Hi guys, Well, I couldn't resist. I ordered the Bookport, and now I'm sitting here at work trying to concentrate and not doing such a great job of it. The thing that convinced me was the description of the CD case with the built-in speaker. That means I could pick up the thing and carry it downstairs and read while cooking or cleaning, or just at my desk, and of course, for portability, I could still use the earbuds like I do for music with my Muvo. I'm psyched! One other question: sometimes I use RFB&D books to help with research for some of the stuff i do at work. Am i to understand that I will be able to use the CDs from RFB&D in the Bookport, or can that only be done if I already have a desktop unit from them. I didn't want to buy one, so still use the tapes. (Anybody remember the old soundsheets). Things sure have changed for us. Thanks again for all the help. I just can't wait for the thing to get here. I'm such a book nut. I scan everything and read all the time, and this unit just sounds wonderful. Oh, one more thing: Marlaina, your idea for the case is really good. I would definitely buy one.
