First and foremost, I think that APH provides much better support and is more responsive to user input. I don't know how frequently the BookCourier firmware is updated, but you can generally count on two or three firmware upgrades (improvements, bug fixes) for the Book Port every year. I don't know any more how much truth there is to the old claim that the Book Port incorporates more functions that are specifically designed for blind users, but I do know that used to be the case. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reed Poynter" <Reed.Poynter@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 5:03 PM Subject: [bookport] BookPort compared to BookCourier Hi, I'm thinking about acquiring one of these devices. Has anyone out there done the comparisons? Why would one choose one over the other? Thanks! Reed
