I do have some questions, however, and hope that people on this list might be able to help. * Now that the Book Currier supports audible files, when is it expected that the book port will support audible? * Does book port support most current daisy version? * Beyond contracted braille files, mp3 files, and text files, does book port support rtf and word files ? * Does book port offer any features not included in book currier? I have read the promotional brochures for both devices, and I cannot seem to find answers to these questions. Thanks so much for your help.

I was sure enough about buying a Book Port that I considered anything I could learn about it before it was in my hands would prove beneficial on the glorious day it would arrive. Yes, the Book Port does support .rtf files.

The Book port will be supporting audible within this month. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Marshall" <marshall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2004 12:53 PM Subject: [bookport] considering book port purchase > Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > BlankHello all: > > I am considering purchasing either a book port or a book currier.

What about putting an alarm feature in to book port. ------------------------------ From: "Dave Cunningham" <dcj638586@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bookport] Re: suggestion for book port Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2004 20:02:52 -0400 Hello, but wouldn't that require the device to have a speaker of a sort? Without the speaker you would have to have the headphones in all the time, then again, if one uses external speakers then I suppose an alarm would be alright.

The manual I first read gave instructions concerning how to use that feature in conjunction with a particular voice memo, etc. However, when I tried to set up an alarm, of course, there were no such commands. This marks perhaps the first instance of something being documented before its actual implementation.<smile> Dale ------------------------------ End of bookport Digest V1 #5 ****************************
