Hello Albert:
I don't like to admit my age, but I started listening to NLS books and RFB&D
books when you got them on disk and used the record players to read the books.
One nice thing about the adapted record players was you could play regular
records on them. So the NLS record player played a lot of music for me, as well
as, played my books. Then RFB&D distributed books on open reel tape and you had
to have a tape player that could read them. Mine was a Sony reel to reel tape
player. I loved it when cassette tapes came out.
Now that I have my BookPort I scan a book a week which is not available from
NLS. Using K1000 I can then download the book to BookPort. As I mentioned most
of the books I read are not available from NLS. Without BookPort I would never
be able to read these books so effectively and pleasantly. I don't like to read
a the computer. I figure that I can wait and get on a waiting list for digital
NLS books. Since I've gotten the BookPort 2 years ago, I haven't read a single
NLS book.
