Yeah but you can transfer it to the BookPort, and it will read it to you and
you don't have to read Braille.

Thanks folks. I should have checked, I know, I'm a moron. I haven't
ordered audiobooks in the past for the others. And yes, I'm probably too
old to be such a fan. I do really want it *at release* so I'll hold my
breath for the bookshare release - who cares if there are some scanning
errors. I've considered purchasing the hardcover and scanning it myself but
that's 800 pages of my flatbed getting mad at me. Bah to that.
Though that is the lazy way out.
I couldn't possibly pay attention to that much braille, I suck at braille.
Which means I suck at life.
Bah humbug!

Hi Jeanette,
Audiobooks are often more expensive than the print versions, especially long
ones like Harry Potter books. And CDs or cassettes are more expensive than
online audiobooks.
If you want electronic braille, Bookshare typically scans the Harry Potter
books within hours of release. The only drawback is that there are often
scanning errors. National Braille Press will release a braille version that
will be available online at noon EDT on Saturday. It normally costs $34.95,
but until Saturday it's available for $18.89. This version will be available
through Web-Braille within days after that. If you want the NBP version, go
to www.nbp.org <http://www.nbp.org/> and search for hallows.
HTH,
Anna
