I have used both, and personally, I like the stream better. I think for some reason audible sounds cleaner and better on it, don't know why or can't explain it. Also, in my opinion, the speech sounds much better. This coming from someone who used to use a Doubletalk exclusively, but I've been spoiled now by better speech, and it's hard to read books with Doubletalk anymore. However, the bookport is good for what it does, and mine is not collecting dust, as I gave it to a friend who couldn't afford either and was grateful for it. But to buy new, I would go with the stream, and the point about the NLS books, I would concur with and has already been mentioned.

But if you are a speed demon, and want to hear your books at a dramatically faster speed, do get the BP. I am saving for a Stream, like its intiuitiveness, but want to wait for a couple more releases. Shelley L.
