Hi Laura,
I suspect most of the remaning users are hanging onto theoir
bookcouriers for the text reading functionality rather than for audio, as there
are now better audio file players but not better text file readers.
I also use the bookcourier primarily for reading professional journal articles
and other work related papers. What kind of journals are you reading?

I am amazed that people are still out there too. I use my BC for reading text
files. I have to convert professional papers from journals into a text file and
then save to the BC, but I agree that the voices are good. I have AT&T voices
on my computer and they are the best, but for a fast read I use the BC.
