Hello. While I have no wish to bad-mouth any product or any company, I have had both the Book Courrier and, now, the BookPort. Suffice it to say that there is a universe of difference, both in the quality of the software, the interest in updating this software and the willingness of BookPort people to support their product. Understand that the Book Courrier people are small in number, trying, as best they can, to produce a product that users will appreciate. Doubtless, due to the much greater facilities at a p h, the BookPort is far, far ahead in both firmware and, most assuredly, in software development. I would very strongly recommend that several weeks of waiting, hard as this might be, are more than worth the trouble. More than this, although I could supply many more details, I would prefer not to say, other than to, again, urge you to wait, wait for one of the most forward-looking and exciting developments since Blazie's contribution with the Braille n'speak. As others have very succintly expressed it, BookPort rocks!
