Hi Ray,
A month, or even a week, is a long time in this business.
The BookCourier is currently being beta tested with Daisy,
and Grade 2 (.brf) files are now supported.
George.

Colin. You can read a review of these two devices,
(published July 2004), at:
http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw050407
To my knowledge the Bookport is still, at the moment, the
only solid state machine to support the DAISY format,
although Springer who make the Book Currier say that DAISY
support will appear on their machine, although they were
saying that last summer. Rather strange because I believe
the two players are made by Springer.
They are essentially text document readers, (several
formats), as well as MP3 players. Both have a memo
recording facility. The reviews are pretty thorough and
website addresses are given so you can go and find out the
latest on them. Our own Ian MacCrae looked at these two and
found he prefered the Book Currier. Both are sold in this
country.
HTH.

Hi Everyone,
I know that a few of you have suggested this type of
mass storage device in the past. What I'm after is a revue
on either of these, and an unbiased opinion on which is the
better of the two.
My reservations are that I will not be able to
achieve the maximum functionality out of the device that I
desire. I would like to be able to revue txt files during
board meetings and make separate notes on the device at the
same time. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I've seen a list of file types the device supports,
but there is no mention of aug files, does this mean that
aug is not supported?
Any impartial comments greatly appreciated.
Colin F
