Well, my suggestion is a bit different. I'd like for someone to develop transfer software that could run on a Pac Mate.

I love my Bookport - it's versatility .keeps showing up in unexpected ways. I was working out yesterday on a treadmill .when the I finished the book I was reading ("Vancouver" - available from .Bookshare - a Mitchener-esque history of the city of Vancouver - excellent!). .Instead of having to change a tape (assuming I'd had the foresight to include .a tape for another book or magazine, I just went to the index and chose from .among 20 other books I'd downloaded from Bookshare. I chose "Me Talk Pretty .One Day" by David Sedaris. It's like having a little library with me at all .times. . I have a Parrot Voicemate as a PDA which works fine for me. I'm fine .with the Bookport providing the functions it does. I see it as a portable .reading machine. I'd love to have better voice capabilities, and I do get a .little annoyed at hearing St. Louis pronounced as Street Louis, but I get what it .means. If anything, I'd like to see it take on some Kurzweil .characteristics. For example, I'd like to have a dictionary on-board, which could be .automatically cross-referenced to a book I'm reading. . For example, if I heard a word that I'm not familiar with, I'd like to .be able to key to the word, hit a key combo and get a definition for it. . Not asking for much, am I? .Dan . .
