Ok, that's not bad at all. Now I have to find out if they ship to Europe and if not, if they have a distributor so I can get a unit here in Greece.

' Subject: RE: Portable Audio Player Hi, Kris. Have a look at the Bookport http://sun1.aph.org/tech/bp_info.htm It will record audio, though with a low quality microphone, and play books from Audible, BookShare and NLS; It'll also play mp3, though the only other type of music files it plays are WAV. It will not play OGG or WMA. It comes with 64 MB of memory, but cards of up to 2 gigabytes are available for anything from $10 to $160 or so. I've seen 2 GB cards for around $140, but this has been on special. It uses compact flash memory. I think that answers all your question. I wouldn't use the recording features of the machine, BTW, for anything more than notes or short memos that don't have to be of high quality. If you want a good recorder, you should probably get the Archos or Iriver mainstream MP3 players, but these won't play books from Bookshare, Audible, or NLS. HTH.

I'd like at least a gig of memory, if it has permanent storage. However, in many ways those that use memory cards are better because you are not limited and you can put different types of material on different cards even using a card for self-help type books and a different card for recreational reading and still other cards for jazz, classical and so forth. I know I won't find the perfect player out there, but I'd like to get the most features for my money. I have even considered the PlexTalk, but although that gives me some additional capabilities, it's awfully pricey. Any recommendations???
