Amen to that. I read with my Bookport, rarely use any NLS books. I think I'll probably have to resubscribe or something soon, just to keep my hand in. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joni Colver Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 11:00 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: 8 Weeks? I can testify to fast shipping when Book Ports are in stock. I ordered mine online from APH on a Sunday and it was delivered to me around 1 o'clock p.m. on Tuesday. I do live in Tennessee so am not that far from Louisville. But, if you have to wait a little while for a new Book Port it is worth it. I do the majority of my reading with it now. The reader adviser at my regional library for the blind is probably wondering why the flow of cassette books between me and the library has slowed so drastically!
