Well, I don't know about the book currier but you don't need windows to upload content to the bookport. I have transferred data back and forth from both the usb connector and with a conpact flash reader. Now you do need windows to use the transfer program which reformats the text file into sentence lines and do the indexing but you can place e-texts in the notes directory and it works just fine. I have even updated the firmware from linux by copying the newer update to the conpact flash and then attaching and dettaching the usb cable. Go figure! I'm sure you could just load the update through the usb cable but I find sliding the compact flash into a reader and mounting it easier. I thought the mp3 playing was done in hardware so if the book currier can play ogg/vorbis and the bookport cannot then their hardware platforms must be different. Maybe Larry will have something to say on the subject. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
