HI Casandra,
First, I am Nicki Keck and I am also anxiously awaiting my Book Port to
come to me. I ordered it March 11, but I know they are back ordered right
now, I do believe. I joined this list to get any info as a heads-up and
to be prepared when I get it. Can you tell I am anxious? Anyway, when I
get my book Port, I will be putting materials into it from bookshare.org
and NLS Web Braille, as well as etext books that are in the public domain.
I use a Braille Lite right now, but it only has 18 cells, and so reading
can be slower with it. I don't like the speech with it and would rather
read in Braille. Plus if I want to go to the hairdresser, say, and then
go shopping, well the Braille Lite you have to take a bag or something to
put it in because it won't fit in a purse. So the book Port will also be
handy for this application as well. I use a Handicassette II to read
cassette books. I hope this was not too much information, and I hope it
helps.
I will also download pod casts to my book Port, etc. I am anxiously
awaiting how well it does with audio.

Subject: [bookport] what resources do you use?
First, I must apologize if any of you have seen a variation of this
question on any other lists. I will be making a presentation about how
blind people access printed materials to a class at Utah State University,
on April 7. I AM TALKING about everything from NFB Newsline, to
bookshare, and everything else. I hope I will have my bookport by then,
so I can demonstrate. I already have tons of materials to put in the
bookport. I am wondering where you guys get your materials to read on the
bookport? What web sites do you use to download books or newspapers?
Where else do you get your material? By the way, if someone can hurry my
unit out to me, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Kasondra Payne

11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
LORD...
