Hello,
10 4 on that!!!!
That is especially true if you are not someone who saves the books they read
like me.
I know that the NLS is going to a daisy or some kind of digital format, and
I for one, am going to miss human narration, as I have not yet heard
anything that is digital that even comes close.
I know and understand why they are doing it, it is a matter of finance and
the $, but that still does not change the facts.
Otto

I actually prefer audio books as well, but they can get expensive and there
is so much available on BookShare and they are so simple to download and
transfer to the BookPort that I find myself doing that more often. I
learned Braille late in life, so I'm a very slow Braille reader. I used to
read the BookShare stuff in Braille on my Braille Lite and took forever to
read an entire book. Now, with the BookPort, I can zip through 1 or 2 books
in a week using its text to speech.

If there's one thing I've learned today, it's that, in prefering audio
books, *I'm* in the minority ... at least around here. Which is fine. The
beauty of BP is that you can have it both ways.
