Michael,
 
You are right.  Audible really should say Bookport and Bookcurrier.

Greetings, All. 
 
Thank you for your responses about Audible and Bookshare's usability;
you all have eased my mind considerably.  I obviously don't know how
current and future potential BP buyers will make their decisions but it
seems to me (as Walt also mentioned) that APH might want to do something
as it appears (when looking at the two sites) that the Book Courier is a
better buy because it is specifically mentioned as a piece of hardware
that will work with the sites' products while BP is not mentioned at
all.  Just a thought. 
 
Thanks again.

        Michael,
         
        I have no problem with my book port and bookshare.  While
researching which product I would purchase I called the manufacturer of
book courier whom also happens to be the manufacturer of book port.  In
speaking with the representative we discussed the differences and
advantages to each.  As a blind user the representative suggested the
book port over the book courier for its several extra options.  He
stated the book courier was a scaled back version basically .  The use
of the courier is more for people who are dyslexic and people of similar
print challenges.
         
        I hope this 
        helps to clarify the differences and easies your mind about your
purchase.
         
        I have had my bookport about a month now and absolutely love it.
         
        Guided by His light,
          Dixie

                Greetings, All. 
                 
                Every once in a while, messages come on to the list
wherein the writer seems to be determining if he/she should go with
BookPort or BookCourier.  I don't know how significant a factor this is,
but in checking out the Audible.com and BookShare sites, they both
specifically reference BookCourier as a workable (for lack of a better
term) device without referencing BookPort at all.  If I was looking
again, I think I would give that factor quite a bit of weight.
                 
                I have not tried using either source yet so I don't
know:  Does BookCourier being mentioned mean (as I would infer rightly
or wrongly) that it works
                much more easily and with better compatibility with
Audible and BookShare or is it not that big a deal?  
                 
                Thanks in advance for your responses.  As a new BookPort
user, I have to admit this is giving me some concern. 
                 
                Michael
