Well, I am not a huge speaker advocate either, but after using the
speakerphone yesterday for the first time on my new tiny cellphone. I do
believe that a speaker of reasonable quality could be added with no size
increase. But as I said, I really don't care one way or another about
this.

Those of us who already own the device never purchased it so that it would work with a Braille display (it is not a screen reader) nor did we expect it to be a speech synthesizer for a PC. It is, a reading device. It is designed to read text and MP3 files, and it does these tasks remarkably well. It is not a screen reader, I don't feel the device needs a speaker because I like its current size and I don't believe that a speaker worth having could be integrated unless one wants a bigger unit. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Poehlman Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 3:53 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: bookport needs a speaker:
Ya know, There is such a thing as utilitariansm. I'd wish for braille display support and support for the bp to be used as a synth. This is not conflictatory.
