What's the cap like, by the way? Would it suit women and/or men? Any details of
its make and price would be useful, or a web site, please. Finally, do the
speakers make it a bit heavy on your head?

hi jackie fine the over drive works great for me but i find the app difficult.
can you tell me about the cost of a sub to the audible as i understand the app
is really good.
changing the subject i must say that i had a really good day on steves stand at
sight village leeds last thursday meeting some really nice people and was very
impressed by the way steve demmoed things and i was so impressed by the
bluetooth in a cap i could not resist it. i think it is a bit like the afshockx
but it gives me hands free gps and access to the voice dream reader for
exammple for reading books. i think ian does a good bit of reading on his i
device and the thing is about the cap is that noone can see your phone it is
not pinchable so to speak. i have just had a walk out this morning and with
grace on my left i have my right hand free now i actually used blind square and
of course i tells you which road your coming up to. i am not sure what they
call the gps in a cap well actually it is a cap with small speakers in it and
you connect a device to it viaa bluetooth. all exciting stuff hope you like
your new i device all the very best then

Hi John
Our subscriptions to the Talking Books service are currently paid by our
Education and Libraries Board. But we have taken out one OverDrive
subscription to share between us. If we prefer this, we will eventually
transfer our Talking Books subscriptions to OverDrive, but have no intention of
doing so for now until everything settles down and works the way we want it to.
But for £50 a year, I can't complain. We share an Audible plan, so have
plenty to keep us going.
It is a pity the whole system does not work the same for everyone though.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Sandra
I have always had to pay my subscription, first for talking books, then
for the Bookstream Service and, whenit becomes due, for the Overdrive
service. Good luck if you can get it, but it is only less than £1 per
week.
