Thanks for your reply Bill...

Would a "USB sound card device" be the 'M-Audio USB MobilePre' that so
many of the respondants are suggesting?

I will be recording some audio books that will be made available
online as MP3 or WAV downloads. Thus, I am looking for the highest
quality USB microphone available. One that produces a clear voice
without a cheap "hollow" sound or anything like that.

Perhaps it'd be better to get a USB sound card device and then get the
microphone separately. That way you can change the microphone as conditions
require. Handheld, lapel or even wireless would work. That and you can
upgrade to better microphones as budget allows.
