I've had this PK for around 2 months now and love it. I'm able to put it into my fanny pack which keeps it in reach at all times. It's a third of the size of the BrailleLite I used to carry around, so it's pretty nice. If you're looking for portability and with some bells and whistles, this one's for you. I wish I would have seen it while I was making my purchasing choices the first time as I would have bought it hands down. I use the Internet and email periodically and they work fine on the unit. Once I get my Wifi card, this will increase the use. It doesn't have streaming mp3 capabilities, but I can live with that. Martin
