I use my MP3 player, and my Book Courier to read books while I am doing other things like knitting, cleaning the house, or taking a bubble bath. And the Braillenote is used for work. And usually by the time I get home, and edit the books I need to edit, well.... Besides the speaker on the BN is not spectacular where I can purchase an external speaker for the Zen Stone, and for the Book courier. Also the Braillenote is not recognized as an appropriate agent for Overdrive, and I like listening to audio books on Unabridged. That is why I don't use the MP3 feature on the Braillenote. I have however used it before for teaching my students listening skills. Shelley L. Rhodes M.A., VRT, CTVI and Guinevere, Golden lady Guide juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

I have never used that function on mine but I'm not particularly interested in the whole music downloading thing. Just curious. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L.
