I agree but for reading text the book port has it and for it's time the book 
port was pretty good.

  Wo..back that up a bit.
  The stream has its bennifits. One of which is it handles audio somewhat 
better than book port. In particular, the book port rocks at reading e-texts, 
whereas, in my view, the stream falls flat on its, uh, battery cover, perhaps? 
Then again, the stream does a darn good job at recording. The book port has a 
longer battery life - but the stream has a few more features, etc. 
  I'm not bashing iether one here. But honestly, the stream is newer than the 
book port and its got bennifits. The book port holds its own.
  Its something like the braille lite vs. pac mate, in my oppinion.
  I like them both. BUt they each have there place for me. The pac mate with 
its quirty keyboard, the braille lite with its reliability.
  Same goes here. The stream I'll use for recording (I hate using the bp 
anyway, one press of a button by accident and it finishes, and the stream can 
be in my pocket). Also, the stream has a very nice way of organizing audio 
files vs. e texts. The book port, however, is way better at reading e texts, 
has a better battery life (come on someone, beat 60 hours, I dare you!)

    Hi John and Constantine.

    Nice one, I'm receiving you all loud and clear.  In my view and this is 
speaking totally candidly, the BookPort and BookCourier are the best accessible 
digital talking book and general reading devices ever made give or take a 
little on each side.  I'll say nothing about the VR stream other than it is a 
piece of *sh*t *grin*.

    All the best and take care now.

        HI Everyone.

        I don't know whether its me or something, but are emails still coming 
through this list?  I've had nothing through here for a little while now so a 
quick response would be appreciated.

        All the best, Ibrahim.
