Hello,
I don't know if this is true or not, but I have been told that
with the pk, you can not print to printers.
If this is the case, then as a student, you would probably want a
braillenote, so that you can print out your assignments.

Hi,
I find the PK the best for portability. I have access to all the
note
takers because of my job. But, for me personally, the size of
the PK
out-weighs some of the features you give up.
Having said that though, as a student, you may find the mPower
more useful
in many situations. For example, if you have an assignment for a
teacher,
and you have a thumb drive, you can save it as a Word document on
that thumb
drive, hand the thumb drive to the teacher and they can copy it
onto their
computer.
It isn't as easy to find people with a CF card reader, but all
computers
these days have usb ports.
Also, you can stream audio on the mpower, but you cannot on the
PK. If you
need to listen to something over the internet for school, for
example.
Or, if you need to print something and you aren't at a computer,
the mPower
will print to USB or serial, or Bluetooth or even infa-red
enabled printers.
The mPower has more internal memory and is a tad bit faster at
downloading
e-mail and such.
But, the PK is great because of the size. Much easier to carry
around.
It does pretty much everything else.
I know you didn't direct your question to me, but I thought you
wouldn't
mind another voice on this subject.
The best thing is if you can get some hands on time to see which
you like
best.
Good luck,
Richard

Hi Hope,
Welcome to the list!
Are there any specific questions you would like us to try and
answer to
help
you in making your decision? I'm sure there will be lots of
folks on
the
list, including myself, who will be happy to try and help.
I'm fortunate enough to be working, and thus have both a PK and
an
mPower.
And, while I do use both, when I'm out and about, I primarily use
the PK
due
to its smaller size and weight, thus making it a much more
portable
device.

Hi. My name is Hope, and I joined this list to find out more
about the
bn (either the pk or m-power). I'm in the process of getting one
and I
need to figure out which one I'd like. Alex parks spoke about
this
list, so I decided to join. I'm sure I'll find this list
helpful, and I
look forward to gaining more knowledge about the BN.
Sincerely,
Hope and Fidelco's Beignet
