Hi Stacey, You can certainly do all of those things with both devices. I think the way the Icon handles Bookshare is great. I wasn?t a Bookshare subscriber until I got the Braille Plus. Now with that said, there are features I do like about the Bookport over the Icon. I like the way the Bookport handles the MP3 files. Being able to speed up the file and the way the bookport remembers where I was in the file. I listen to long MP3 files and being able to stop and start the files where you last was is great. Of course you get a lot more features with the Icon Braille Plus. Being able to browse the internet and read e-mail is great. I guess it all boils down to what features you want. Right now I would not give up my bookport. If I had to choose I would choose my Bookport. Hope that helps. stacey robinson <staceyr75@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi, My name is Stacey Robinson and I'm thinking of purchasing th eIcon Braille Plus from APH. I am trying to decide between the bookport II when it comes out or th icon braille plus. I want to be able to listn to books from booksahre or web BRaille. CAn you use the Braille Plus with web Braille? I also want to be able to load mp3 files on to which ever thing I buy and play music. Is this easy to do with the braille plus? Does the incon braille plus have a time or stopwatch of somekind?

Got mine from Amazon.com yesterday and it meets my needs perfectly! The hardest part of the process was extracting it from the hard plastic packaging it came in. Once that was done, inserting the card and transfering files was a breeze! Thanks again! Debbie
