Yes, for doing what it's there to do, it's great. This is not a unit that's intended or designed for top-quality recordings. Don't be upset when a horse isn't a cow. If you really need high quality recording functionality, buy a high quality digital recorder that's designed to do only that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Davis" <lindamay.davis@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2007 8:29 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: feature suggestions if they are still taking them Don't forget, its main purpose is to read or listen to audio material. The recording feature isn't the most important thing to me. It is fine for just getting a piece of information quickly until I can transfer it by some other means either into braille, or on the computer. It might make the cost higher too. You want to make it as affordable as possible.
