I do agree with you.
She is phased by the fact there is no screen to look at and frankly too many keys.
many thanks and happy new year.

Hello Niamh,

Even though your next door neighbour can see, I'd say you'd have to go a long way to find anything as simple to use as the Victor Reader Stream. Although it's a Daisy book reader, of course it also plays MP3 files. And your neighbour would get the added benefit of having a means of playing audio books.

How does she intend to get MP3s onto the device?

Mike

She has a lot of sight and I want to find an MP3 player for her which
has easy controls but could be visual.
simplicity is the answer.
