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.

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?
Thanks,

Hi,
A huge thank-you to those that recommended the Sandisk Mobile Mate SAID!
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
