This is just my opinion, but I think you will be disappointed in the voice recording aspect of the Bookport. The quality is poor. Otherwise, your son will greatly benefit from it.

I have ordered a Book Port for my ten year old son. He is severely dyslexic and uses RFB&D for textbooks and recreational reading. He will be taking his Book Port to school every day. I'd like simplify our implementation so that he can take responsibility for it, as much as is possible for a ten year old.

Can we, and should we, use multiple flash cards; like one for school related files and one for recreational reading?

Can we load reading material from more than one PC? I am thinking that books will be moved to the BP from his home PC, but other text (such as from a website) may be taken from a school PC.

If he makes voice recordings, can these files be copied to his PC?

His teacher expects students to be able to take notes from a book. We would like to try the audio version of this, by listening to a book and making a voice recording of important points. How difficult is it to go back and forth between listening to a book and making voice recording?

Any advice on simplifying our implementation is appreciated. Thank you.
