Richard:

Although I can't speak for Springer Design, who makes the Book Courier, 
however, I just want to caution you not to believe everything you hear (time 
will tell).  Since The Book Port and Book Courier are very similar devices and 
APH was denied permission to play NLS books on the Book Port, I would be very 
surprised if it happens for the Book Courier.  However, they have not made as 
many changes in their Firmware, so maybe they're planning to have people send 
their units in--but again, I'd be very surprised at that!

Hi everyone;
For my part I think it is sometimes easy to needlessly spend hard earned 
cash to "keep up" when the newest update isn't that much greater than what 
one al ready has.
It would be nice to look at the nls list of books just to see if there is 
anything there that one is really missing.  Unfortunately I don't believe 
you can access that material unless you have signed up to download their 
info.
I believe the book currier is scheduled for revision so that it too can 
download nls info.  Their site is promising a price superior to the stream. 
They apparently are staying with double talk which I found interesting.
