A book port is a small machine that can read all types of books, including from audible. It stores them on compactflash cards. These are the same cards the BN uses and it has a cmpactflash slot on the side of the unit. It will read web braille books as well as mp3 files and audible files. I don't like the speech synthasizer, but fortunantly, I've been playing audible files on it. The unit is the size of a cell phone and runs double A batteries. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 4:00 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Braillenote and MP3 revisited

I haven't tried other synths but for ATT Naturals you need to use the lowest setting. Now, to keep saving up for a Book Courier. Shelley L.
