Agree 100 percent. I deliberately put some text files on the Stream, just so I could get used to the voice. Funny... I didn't have to do that with the Bookport. When I bought the Bookport, true enough, I didn't have the choices I do now, but I could have chosen to read my texts on the PC using eloquence.
I have had my BP for over 3 years. The keys do stick a bit, and the mic jack has a bit of static if I'm not careful with it, but it still works well.

I have both devices. The Stream does read NLS books, the Bookport does not. However, I am one of the rare individuals who loves Doubletalk speech, so when it comes to text files, I still prefer the Bookport. Mine is five years old, I dropped it once, spilled a small amount of coffee on it once, and although the keys stick a bit it is still going strong. One of the best investments in entertainment I ever made.-----Original Message-----From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of constantine (on laptop)Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 7:57 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Introduction Agreed here.I can sit here and rave and rant about how excellent the book port is, but I'll just say this.Give me a unit that can play e-texts, mp3, etc and retain the battery life this unit does?

I have actually had it for about 3 years, but was so busy with on line classes that I did not have time to explore all of the capabilities of the Bookport. I have downloaded a few books, and am going to try to learn how to download some music as well as books from Bookshare. I am not exactly a techno whiz, so I may have some questions along the way. I am hoping to learn about all of the neat things that my Bookport can dofrom those of you who have used it for years. Smile. Marilee ---------- No virus found in this incoming message.
