The bookport is a wonderful device!
The braille Plus is about 1000 times better, but the Bookport is the best
accessible
notetaker and MP 3 player in existence.
I don't think the upgrade will be on the bookport, because they have already
promised us the
bookport 2, and I don't think they want to add anything for fear of not getting
it done.
Can someone tell me what the book courier is, what it does, and how does it
compare to the
bookport?
Thanks!
Chase
