My husband is listening to the User's Manual - pretty dry reading if there's nothing on the device to use it on! So meanwhile, all I want to do is get a book on the thing so that he can just start reading. The user's manual says there are books on the CD ROM but danged if I can find them, or find out how to find them or how to download them to the device - arrgh! OK, I admit I'm not exceptionally computer savvy (I am sighted, my husband is blind), but we ain't stupid either, and really thought it would be a LOT easier to get a book on the thing and start reading!!! All the user's manual content seems like a lot of technical stuff to wade through without having anything to try it out on... Susan and Steve
