It does a fine job, though you currently have to write in computer Braille. You'll like other things, too, like being able to point at a whole folder and send it to the Book Port--or, as I do, a multitude of folders. It takes me two days to load my Book Courier with a gigabyte of text-based folders and files, but only two hours to do the same job with the Book Port. The constant audible signals allow you to cue up hundreds of items for download and go on about your business while the job is being done. Book Courier's buffer is fifty or sixty files. Big difference. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Robinson To: List BookPort Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 5:38 PM Subject: [bookport] Braille notes Hi, I'm currently a Book Courier user, but am thinking of getting a BookPort. One of the features that interests me is the ability to enter notes via the braille keyboard. I wouldn't be trying to write the next best selling novel or anything, just short notes for myself. How easy and reliable is braille input on a device with such relatively small keys? Regards. Ian Robinson
