Angie: Most files can be sped up, using the c key on the Book Port itself. The only exception is audio files, which must be sped up using the Options menu and going to the Advanced Audio feature. All of this will be covered in the manual, so instructions will be provided.

My husband is thinking of buying a Bookport, and we were wondering if you had any words of advice. One question in particular, David really likes to listen to things speeded up. How awkward or easy is it to accomplish that? Angie
