Hey Roger, I won't say a word, doesn't the RNIB's talking books have those books? Just wondering as I notice you have a Zen Stone? I have put ten talking books on it and that's a great way to hear the books and a load less stressfull than scanning! Good luck anyway. I'll check if RNIB does have them in the morning, but a bit worn out now! Take care, sleep well.
