Re: Bookport and other assistive technology
There is supposed to be a discussion forum on APH products at http://www.aph.org/. But the FORUM link is dead; I keep getting a Cannot Find Server error message.

Ok, so if the Bookport wasn't USB 2.0 compatible then how did people put books or whatever onto the thing, I suppose it was USB 1.1 compatible right? Again, I know very little about these devices.

Re: Bookport and other assistive technology
Hi It would be a help if there was a site where we could check the latest news on the new bookport.Somewhere we could also make suggestions for features. I hope that the new bookport does include a decent speaker, the comments I have heard about the Victor Stream say it has a very poor under powered speaker. I would also like the new bookport to have variable speed and pitch control for playing of audio files on the fly. The Stream has this feature but I do not know how well it works.

RE: Bookport and other assistive technology
I've assumed news would be posted to, www.aph.org. Is this not correct? If it's going to continue to be portable, the speaker can't sound better than a good cell phone. Personally, I'll purchase my own docking station if it means keeping the size down to something I can easily carry in a pocket. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russ Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2007 9:30 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Bookport and other assistive technology Hi It would be a help if there was a site where we could check the latest news on the new bookport.Somewhere we could also make suggestions for features.
