Okay, have today been to argos and purchased catalogue number 512/9632 which
is a Mikomi cd mp3 player costing a penny under a tenner. It is not
available at all stores, but you can try to track it down on the Argos site.
It is not available for home delivery.
I have tried two RNIB Talking books and they play well. Obviously you do
not get the benefits of DAISY navigation, but, on pressing the forward track
button it moves a chapter at a time on both the books I have tried.
Therefore, if you leave your book at the end of a chapter, it should be
simple enough to find your place.
Very good for ten quid of anyone's money.
David

Hi to all,
Just to let people know who are interested in this topic that the Alba
pcd222mp3xi costing £15 from Argos Reads RNIB books without problem.
Although it is a wee bit on the slow side getting started, the controls are
easy as well!
