Alex, further to Ian's comments, I have just found an exhaustive review done the beginning of this year in the states, which compares the Book Currier, Book POrt and other machines, including CD players, that play DAISY and other file types. I seem to recall they came down in favour of the Book Port, though cannot remember why. I can send the file, which is in MS Word 2000 format as an attachment, although its pretty big. All the best.

I have no experience of the Book Port. The Courier is supplied over here both by Technovision Systems and Computer Room Services. =20 Cheers now.

I'm sure there are people on this list that have either or both of these. Does anybody know of any comparative reviews anywhere? Also, who are the UK suppliers of these devices? Any help/advice would be most welcome. Cheers. Alex ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
