but if you have a pacmate or pda then why have a bookport?
Well a bookport is smaller, guess it's all personal preference.

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

.I'll have to agree with Dave here. 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?
