Hi, if you want Bookshare and RFBD, get the Stream. Because Bookshare books are text books, (they are not audio), you need some form of text to spech to read them. Which the Wave lacks. Also, the Stream is a lot smaller than the Wave, and can record as well, just like the book port. Also, like the book port, it doesn't contain a cd drive, so you'll need to transfer it some other way. Since I don't (but wish) I had a Stream, I cannot outline how that works.
