Dave and others -
I've looked at the available information on this device and frankly, don't
think it's worth the money. You can buy a lot more right now for only $70
more by purchasing the BP and in addition to being able to read Audible
and
the other formats you mentioned, Dave, you also get a proven piece of
technology and if there's one thing I've learned the hard way over the
years, it's to never be the first kid on my block to shell out my
hard-earned dollars for new accessible technology.

Hi Russ and list!
Far as I can see from what I've read, the only advantage it offers is a
speaker. That only for the things the two devices handle in common. It
doesn't handle text, Word, HTML BRF or other non-Daisy marked files except
for Audible, which I believe it plans to support. I think they felt they
needed to have something for these conventions to keep their name out
there
and that's what they've thrown together. It may be available now, but not
many Daisy books are, regardless of what device you choose.
Cheers,
Dave
