Just to be clear, when the Book Port speeds up a voice the pitch does not change. There is no Donald Duck Effect. Formatting a flash card is recommended but is quite simple and is done on the BP itself. You just press and confirm a keystroke. It takes only seconds. I'm not selling book ports, I just want to make sure the info that's out there is accurate. Lou ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L.
