News about a new accessible handheld reading device!

The BookCourier is an all-new handheld audio reading device which is
perfect for print disabled students, executives, commuters or anyone who
loves to read! As you receive your new BookCourier, it is ready to
hold approximately 100 complete books from Bookshare.org's rapidly growing
collection to listen to with the unit's built in text-to-speech. It
can also hold hours of MP3 audio files or a combination of both. Using a
BookCourier, Bookshare.org can be your portable library.

Current Bookshare subscribers will receive a $40 discount off the
retail price of BookCourier when you purchase your unit from Technologies
for the Visually Impaired in New York. TVI may be contacted by writing
to
tvii@optonline.net
or by phone at (631) 724-4479. You will be asked to provide your User
ID from your current valid Bookshare.org account. When you take
advantage of this discount offer, you will pay just $339.00 for your
BookCourier.

The second offer is for BookCourier owners who have not yet subscribed
to Bookshare.org. When you are a U.S. resident subscribing to
Bookshare.org for the first time, you will receive a waiver of your $25 set up
fee. This brings your first year's cost to access the nearly 15,000
books available from Bookshare.org to just $50. Read to your heart's
content! For details on this Bookshare.org special offer, please see the
