Hi Annette Thanks for the comments.

I have been very happy with my BookPort, and have found many other uses besides reading books. I use it to read articles and reports from work, newspapers from BookShare.org and other web sites, and I carry my knitting and crochet patterns in it as well. I love the battery life the BookPort gets out of a set of batteries. I love my BookPort and carry it in my backpack all of the time.

I do have two questions, but first let me say that my main, though not exclusive, interest in using a digital book player is to read books such as those from Audible.com. I am currently using the free IPod Shuffle that came with my subscription and find it less than satisfactory. So, I am looking into the Book Port or the Book Courier or maybe even a unit I've not heard of yet. Here are my two questions: First, why did you choose your Book Port over the Book Courier or other player you might have investigated? Second, Are there any significant issues with the unit that you feel should corrected? Any other comments will be much appreciated. Thanks for your help. BILL
