I haven't used recording for the blind books, so can't say much for that.
However, I would say the book port is quite responsive. I don't know if jaws
has improved the responsiveness, but last time I used it which was a year or
2 ago, I thought it was rather slow. I can't say anything bad about the
responsiveness of the book port. Yes, you can move through lines or words in
your text. I'm sure other folks on this list will agree with me when I say
that this is a great product.

> I don't currently own a Book Port but I am planning on purchasing one in
the next month or two. I have a couple questions about the Book Port. I am a
management accountant and I am studying to obtain the Certified Management
Accountant (CMA) designation. In my work and in my study, I often read
documents that require frequent line by line or word by word review and so
the responsiveness of the Book Port is of grate interest to me. How
responsive is the Book Port as compared to JAWS when reading Word Documents,
html, txt, and such? Do large files effect the responsiveness much? I
understand that it probably wouldn't be quite as responsive as JAWS but I
hate sluggish speech so I am hoping that it is pretty responsive. Also, as I
understand it, you have to have some sort of key in order to read RFD&B
AudioPlus books on the Book Port. How does this work? Do you install the
key, from a disk, using the PC? Do you install the key once and forget it or
do you have to install it on ea
> ch flash card that contains a RFD&B book?

> By the way, I have ben on this list for a couple days and I find it quite
informative even though I don't yet have a Book Port. I am impressed with
how involved APH seams to be with helping its beta testers and regular
users. I am also impressed with how all of the users on this list seam to be
so friendly and so eager to help each other. I am looking forward to getting
everyone's feedback.
