Hi Martin I personally prefer the Victor Reader Stream. It has to be one of my very favourite gadgets to be honest, I can't fault it at all. I read books at fairly high speeds, play Audible content on it, and can listen to Internet radio or podcasts if I want to. The keys are nice and friendly, battery life is good, and I bought the leather case for added protection. My only criticism, and it isn't that big a deal, is that when it reaches a certain volume, you get this stupid message about not listening to it at high volume. I am told the US firmware does not contend with that aggro, and goes louder anyway. All in all, a great little gizmo. I prefer it over the Plextalk or Linio because the Plextalk takes longer to boot up if not in stand-by mode. It has a much superior recording quality to the Victor as well.

Hi all. I am looking for recommendations on which playter to get. One is more expencive than the other, but the functions seem to be similar. It seems from the rnib website, it seems the Plextalk Pocket DAISY player comes with no case, the victor reader stream comes with silicon one. I play usb dasy, sd card daisy and audible content mostly. Both players can play usb sticks and sd cards. Basically after the demise of my ptx1 and milestone, I want one player to rule them all. I am using usb sticks from RNIB now, and any daisy discs I buy will be transferred to pc then to stick or sd card.Any thoughts pro or against each player? Thanks.? Hope to hear from you soon. From Martin.
