Reading audible.com books is my primary use of the BC and I have had no problems with the VR Stream with these books either. My main beef with the VR Stream is, as previously indicated, its clunkiness of use compared to the BC. Still, these should be addressable given the ease of firmware upgrade provided those upgrades keep coming.

Also, I wouldn't want to do without my BC. It does great with Audible dot com books, whereas I have never been able to get these to work on the Victor Stream.rhutche1@xxxxxxxxxxxx Richard Hutcheson 403 Savage Farm Drive Ithaca, NY 14850----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bookcourier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 11:50 PM Subject: [bookcourier] Re: Message from Springer DesignHi Katie,Just to add that we have a few BookCouriers left in the UK if anyone wantsthem. Pleaswe contact us if you would like to buy a new one.Finally, thanks to Springer for an excellent product, I still have mine and would never want to be without it by choice. The Stream has nice features,but the voice is nothing as good as Precise Pete.

This decision was not made lightly. It came down to the simple fact that with the current work load at Springer Design (we are first a design and consulting firm), we would not be able to provide our customers the immediate after sale technical support and the on-going development they deserve. "We will be revisiting our production plan monthly and will update you as soon as the situation changes." I can vouch for the fact that Steve's working as hard as he possibly can these days. If it were possible to do it all, he would. We understand if you don't feel that you can wait any longer to purchase a new device. We will continue to repair and refurbish existing BookCouriers if you'd like to get more life out of the product. If our development situation changes, we will let you know.
