Jeff, Both the BC and BP have auto-resume for any file type. Also the update procedures are about the same for both--the Bookport transfer software automatically notifies you of updates and will download them automatically if you tell it to do so. The Doubletalk synthe really is not that bad--I lived with it on my PC for years, so it's like an old friend to me, although I agree with you that Eloquence would be superior. My only complaint--and this applies to either device--is that the volume at which it reads and the volume at which MP3 files are played is quite different. So if you've been reading text or .htm files and you want to listen to an .mp3 or Audible file, best turn the volume down a few notches first if you want to keep your ears from ringing.

Subject: Re: the Book Port Yes, Debbie, I appreciate your comments. I do have a couple more questions about the BookPort. You mentioned "resuming" in mp3 files. Are you saying that the BookPort will remember where you stop listening to an mp3 file and start at that spot when you resume listening? Also, the BC mentioned having an update feature for updating the software. Nothing was specifically said about this for the BP, although I realize it can be done. Is it more difficult to update software/firmware on the BP than on the BC? Actually, I'm not a subscriber of audible.com yet, but I have been contemplating it for quite some time. One of my reasons for doing so would be to have books I could listen to with one of these types of players. However, I have read about the various formats and would probably want to use format 4 anyway. I am somewhat particular about quality and usually prefer to get the highest quality I can, so this would not be an issue for me. If you have any other comments about either of these devices or other similar products I'd be interested. I really, really wish there was a unit like this with Eloquence.
