Looks like I'll be the only person in the world getting decent nights' sleep this weekend.

Ok so if I order the 'portabook" from NBP (which is a stunningly reasonable
$19 bucks!!) bookport will read it?
I'm amazed.  Not only that - I'm thrilled.  Thrilled I tell you, THRILLED.

 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 and search for hallows.

 HTH,
 Anna
