Hi Carol, sorry to get back to you so late but I've been away. I would like
to see one but I can't afford it at the moment, it's on my wish list!

Are you still wanting to see and try before you buy?  Have you asked
Humanware about this?

I do know someone in Bristol who may be able to help if you're really
interested.

Mandy,

I don't know if Humanware offer any kind of "try before you buy" or demo
service, but if you give a general idea where you're located, maybe
there's
someone on list who is willing to let you see theirs.

Hi Mandy

I think you will be pleased with the VRS if you do. I find it invaluable
and reliable.  I use mine every day, it has great battery life, and
really
does what it says in the blurb.  In fact, if I had to choose a couple of
products to take with me to a desert island or somewhere equally remote,
my
VRS would be one of those items, I like it that much for reading books.


Kind regards,

Jackie Brown

So when I've saved up the shekkles I'll go for that one.

Hi Mandy

I didn't have Audible set up on the Pocket so couldn't really give a
definitive answer to that, but I don't see why it would be more difficult
on
it to any other device unless there is something I am not aware of.

I'm inclined to agree with you Jackie, I never use my pocket to record
from,
so for me that is a wasted component and they probably charge much more
because of that facility but like you I have an Olympus, so thanks.
You'll
probably see my message to Pele but is it easier to download from Audible
than it was for the pocket?

Hi Mandy

Yes I did, some time ago now.

The Stream and the Pocket offer full DAISY navigation, ability to play
Audible books, music and Internet radio.  But I personally think the new
generation VRS is quicker to connect to stations.  The Pocket is a much
superior recorder than the VRS.

But I prefer the Stream every time.  I like the menu voice, and can't
abide
those terrible music tones the Pocket has that you can never get rid of
altogether.

I guess it is very subjective Mandy, everyone will have an opinion on
what
is better or worse when comparing these things.  For me, the VRS is the
best
of all the DAISY players, and if I wanted to do serious recording, I
would
do so on an Olympus.

Hi Jackie, you used to have the Plextalk pocket didn't you? Do you prefer
the stream to the pocket? I'd like to know the differences because my
pocket
is looking a bit worse for wear and that is what I'd like to save for.

Hi Pele

Just to say that Audible is great on the VRS, as is OverDrive content.
The
latest VRS is money so well spent, a fab device.

Hi Roger

I have a Victor Reader Stream and really like it. I don't know about
Audible, but I understand it works well. DAISY navigation is good and so
is
navigation for other books.

Music is ok, although I believe you will get better sound from an MP3
player.

You can also get internet radio and download podcasts, although Humanware
are still trying to sort out some bugs with this.
