Yes, and the only format that Stream plays that Book Port doesn't
is NLS. On the other hand Book Port plays a lot that Stream does not.
Boat anchor? I think he wants a lot for as little as he can pay
for it, and probably would prefer a new unit that reads every file
format known to man that has books recorded in it for free.

there is no way to convert the old book port to play
talkingbooks. and the book port is not a boat anchor it plays more
file formats than anything out there. It is still a good deal for
the money. aft is not the first kid on the block but when they
show up with a product it is well thought out.

You no, I do understand that as blind individuals we have no
lobby, absolutely no voice, and most of all no business
complaining about anything. Of course I don't want to seam
ungrateful for what I have, but not being able to play n l s books
on the current bookport is a stone bummer.
To many blind persons four hundred fifty dollars is a large
chunk of change. As we all no lots of blind folks are on a fixed
income and don't have much discretionary money to spend on book players.
I wonder, could it be possible that the printing house could
set up a program where you could send your bookport back for a
conversion so it would play n l s books. Maybe this could say cost
fifty bucks and be sent free matter. After all this is, "the
American printing house for, and I do mean for, the blind.
