I love having my braille note to read with, however, for novels or
lighter stuff, I often let it read aloud to me or use K1000 and let the
computer do the reading. It is faster, however, for mor technical stuff
I want it under my fingers, and when I am on the road reading in braille
is still preferred to speech. I also enjoy books on tape and CD, but I
generally speed them up if possible.

Funny thing Pam you mentioned Ronnie's comment on the bookport. I
was
just thinking about it. I had thought about getting one, mostly for
music,
because I really don't like being read to, thus the reason for having a
Braille display/notetaker. But I am not sure I can justify spending the
money for that reason alone. I have a friend who used to tell me he
never
read, hardly ever picked up a book. Well, he retired from his job last
year, and last summer he wrote me and told me he bought a bookport and
how
much he enjoyed it. Made me think aboutit again. But I don't know.
