Michael both devices have many of the same functions. BookPort has
all of the features of Book Courier plus some additional ones if I am
not mistaken. Book
Courier has done a better job of promoting that device.

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.

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
