That is really a shame. I hope they can find a way around this some day. I
would like to see this opened up for Canada and the rest of the world for
that matter.

Well, again, Bookshare is not an option to us non-Americans.

I actually prefer audio books as well, but they can get expensive and
there is so much available on BookShare and they are so simple to
download and transfer to the BookPort that I find myself doing that
more often. I learned Braille late in life, so I'm a very slow
Braille reader. I used to read the BookShare stuff in Braille on my
Braille Lite and took forever to read an entire book. Now, with the
BookPort, I can zip through 1 or 2 books in a week using its text to
speech.

If there's one thing I've learned today, it's that, in prefering audio
books, *I'm* in the minority ... at least around here. Which is fine.
The beauty of BP is that you can have it both ways.

Hi. To answer your questions, I don't listen to audio books on my
bookport mainly because I really don't like audio books much. I
would rather use the text to speech. I know I'm probably strange
that way, but I find that humans read to slow. As for how long I use
my Bookport, probably about two hours every day because I now read
while walking on my treadmill and then read with it before going to
bed at
night.

So far most of the time I use my Book Port for reading audio MP3
books. I was wondering if people could give me feedback on the
following
questions.
What percent of the time do you listen to audio books?
What percent of the time do you use text-to-speech to listen to
books or materials?
But percent of the time do you listen to music MP3's?
How often do you use your Book Port?
Thanks for the feedback -- Jim -- Michigan
