Changing the nature of this topic slightly: I purchased and used the Plextalk Pocket but a few months ago it developed a fault where all it would say was "please wait" an no re-setting made any difference so I had to send it back to RNIB.
Eventually after many calls I was told that it was sent back to the manufacturers who do not repair once the unit is out of guarantee so that is that, no more using the Plextalk so I am wondering whether to purchase something else as I am a talking book user and have to pay £50 per year unlike most people I talk to who do not have to pay themselves. I could just access the books on the computer or copy to something else - I have a tiny portable DAB with its own memory which I have copied some books to or the zenstone which is obviously too small in capacity. I now also own a Kindle but will this meet all of my reading needs?
So what would people recommend I buy? I gave Brian my VictorStream and don't want to buy another - how good is BookSense and how much does it cost?

Secondly, I would doubt that at least the BookSense would work as Martin found his struggled with 32GB. It did some weird and annoying things, so he gave the card to me which I have in my BrailleSense. I did take the play.com offer up recently and bought two 32GB cards for I think it was £17.99 each as they were SanDisk. If someone has tried a 64GB card, please let us know, though the price won't drop for a bit yet.

Just out of pure interest, has anyone tried the new 64GB cards on the market with this device? I also want to know whether such a card would work with the book sense and similar SD card based players. All the best, Ibrahim. -----Original Message----- From: Jackie Cairns Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 8:27 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: PLEXTALK POCKET SD CAR QUESTION Hi Richard Up to 32GB.
