Yeah, they have that in them. I use to have a PTR2 but it got damaged. I loved it. I still do. It's just all the limitations that we've discussed thus far are what makes me hesitate on getting on. Especially since IRTI still wants $895 for it. If they'd only drop the price then maybe. All though the BP DT sounds cool. It can record DAISY 3 books too if I understand correctly.

But people are generally now going to be motivated to go more for the desktop bookport anyway because of the hardware and price differences.
