It sounds like this would also have a very negative effect on battery life. I'd 
certainly prefer eloquence myself, and the 
DoubleTalk speech was one of the reasons I waited as long as I did to get a 
Book Port. But the truth is that this speech 
kind of grows on you. I don't like it as much as I like Eloquence, but it's 
certainly not unbearable. I do wish, though, that 
the Book Port included more control over how much punctuation is spoken.
