You'll love the bookport; I don't go anywhere without it.
It comes with a 64 MB card, but will accept up to a 2 gig card. I have the
2 gig card and it works fine.
Audible.com has books that are read by live persons, so they are like the
talking books. Bookshare.org has synthesized books, which take you a little
bit of time to get used to. Bookshare.org has the Harry Potter books
(Audible.com doesn't), but, because of all the made up words and names, I
found it hard to follow. I've the Bookport for a while now, so I think I'll
give the Harry Potter a try again.
Good luck!
Rick
