Last night, I did try using my card reader for getting my books from Book Share, and on this HP PC with Windows 7, the transfer times are definitely comperable. I really couldn't tell much difference.
I personally am not bothered by a task oriented item taking a couple of minutes to do , AND THIS TASK IS A PLEASURE WHEN i COMPARE IT WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO READ AS i now do.

One thing I haven't really thought about is, maybe transfer time is indeed different with a Mac. You will get no PC versus Mac's arguments out of me. I am extremely impressed with Voice Over and the Mac's accessibility. At 08:56 PM 2/26/2010 -0800, you wrote: >I have been kind of following this thread.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible) 11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. 12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. 13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A) 14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
