That's fine, but there are a lot of folksthat can't afford the Edirol, and the 
Olympus DS-50 does an excellent job for what most blind folks want.

I am not saying it comes anywhere close to replacing the Book Port because it 
doesn't.  But, for the money the DS-50 probably can do as much for most blind 
folks as the much more expensive Edirol.
