  
We're excited to announce that the new BookSense portable digital book player from GW Micro is now available.
The BookSense plays audio books and music files, and does text-to-speech for education, information, and entertainment. Students can access school textbooks, people in the workplace can stay current with journals or business magazines, and anyone can enjoy newspapers, favorite novels, a bestseller, and even their favorite music. With a comfortable feel when held in your hand, the BookSense is easy to use for people who are familiar with computers and downloading files. Weighing only four ounces, it is portable and powerful and easily fits into a shirt pocket, backpack, or purse, so you can take it anywhere.
Two models are offered: BookSense and BookSense XT. Both models play audio files, DAISY content, and read documents. Secured-Digital (SD) memory card slot, and built-in digital recorder are all standard features on both the BookSense and BookSense XT.
The media player supports a variety of formats, such as MP3, MP4, OGG, WAV, WAX, M4A, and WMA. Use the media player to listen to your music collection, including music downloaded from Apple iTunes.
With the BookSense, you can access digital talking books from providers such as the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), BookShare, and Audible. Access to books from Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D) is coming soon!
BookSense makes it simple by utilizing the USB port to connect to your PC to transfer downloaded books and music directly to the built-in memory on the BookSense XT or to an SD memory card in either model.
The book reader on the BookSense supports several file formats, including txt, rtf, doc, docx, html, xml, brl, and brf. Use this feature to read your Microsoft Word documents, including Word 2003 and Word 2007.
The BookSense is the ideal tool for classroom teachers, students, business professionals, and anyone who enjoys reading and listening to music.
