I would say a Victor Reader Stream hands down, but the speaker isn't
great for just listening. You'll need to get some external speakers if you
don't want to use headphones, but other than that one limitation, it's the
best player available imho. I especially like support for all the various
file formats including, Daisy, NLS, rtf, html, brf, wma, .flac, .ogg, .mp3,
and your run of the mill text files. Let's not forget Audibel support and
support for protected content availabel via System Access. Also, FYI, I
currently have a 16 gig card in it now, but I have heard that people have
been abel to use 32 gig cards successfully. Also, the voice recorder is
pretty good. The only other significant drawback is that it does not
currently support drm protected wma files.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Best portable reader?
I'm thinking of taking the plunge and buying a portable reader so I can get
the
digital NLS books now, as well as listen to the bookshare files someplace
away
from my laptop.
I hate headphones, so I want the reader to have a passable speaker.
What are the pros and cons of the various ones out there, like the Victor?
What
formats do they read? How reliable are they, and how long do they last on
rechargeable batteries? Any input is appreciated. smile.
