The stream, by far. In addition to weighing about half of the wave, the stream has many advantages: Here are its pros and conns. Pros: Can be carried in a pocket easilly. Can do so many more things than the wave, including voice recording via a built in microphone. Not having to use compact discs, which means being able to hold about 6 discs worth or more on one small, slick little card, and more of these cards can be bought at electronic stores for less than 30 dollars if so desired. The victor reader stream is capable of playing every type of book imagineable, including text files. The wave can only play audio and wouldn't work with bookshare books, anyway. there are a lot more- but, I'm not sure if this is allowed here- so this is as far as I'll go- but if you want more info feel free to contact me. I love my stream and don't regret getting it at all. Have a good day from Tyler C.

Since Book Port is no longer being manufactured, she wants to know whether she should get the Victor Stream Reader or the Victor Reader Wave. The reason that she is thinking of getting the Victor Reader Wave is because this machine is less expensive than the Victor Stream Reader. What are the differences among the two devices? Which one is the better machine? Barbara No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG. Version: 8.0.138 / Virus Database: 270.6.9/1636 - Release Date: 8/26/2008 7:09 PM
