Thanks, Rick; Looking forward to it. Are you on the jfw list also? Your name sounds familiar. I unsubscribed for a while. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Harmon To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, 20 February, 2006 13 21 Subject: [bookport] Re: I'm jumping in... HiRuss and Val, You will be quite happy with Audible books on the BP. It works quite nicely. Battery life is a bit low but still very good. I get about 25 hours or so playing them and other MP3 files on it.

I've purchased my Book Port, and am anciously awaiting its arrival I've long been looking for an accessible device for my audible.com downloads that can handle the highest quality compression rates that I've been downloading from audible for a number of years. But CD burning and carrying a laptop when traveling to listen to these books is inconvenient. I'm really looking forward to testing out this device. All the other features are valuable, and I'm as well looking forward to testing these out also, but my first priority is good clear audio book listening. I'm aware of the idiosyncracies of BP from my reading your messages, and trust these issues will be addressed in the updates to the firmware. By the way, how many Mb are on the flasch card that comes with the device?
