Hi Sandy!
I apologize that it sounded like I was complaining. I just received my Bookport
yesterday and the truth is I love it. It was so easy to transfer the books. I
especially like the fact that one can transfer books from RFB&D. That is the
main reason I purchased the Bookport. The reason I asked about the speech was
to make sure it was working properly. I am sure I will get use to the speech.
Like you said one needs to keep the expense down.
HTH.
Hope

.Listen to the Bookport long enough, and you will actually begin to
.like the Doubletalk. Perhaps there is a new Bookport in the
.designing stage. We don't know what the plans are. Don't be too
.critical. The Bookport doesn't cost a lot of money like the Packmate
.does. Also remember, both Elloquence and the AT&T voices are memory
.hogs. By the way, do you own a Bookport? I don't mean to be
.critical, but if you did, I'm not so sure you would complain so
.strenuously. For the money, the BP is the best piece of assistive
.technology out there.

.I love the fact I can carry my library around with me wherever I
