Hi Liz
Reading your post brings back to my memory the conversation I had with one
of your office admin girls. I don't have a tablet or smartphone. I actually
did have both but gave them to my grandson. I just cannot be bothered with
the learning curve and the synthetic voices are nonsense to me. If I did
stream I'd need to download it to a non-internet phone, a MP3 player, memory
card or memory stick. None of which will be permissible. I'll therefore
stick to the postal service I'm afraid. Many thanks for taking the time to
explain it all to me.
Roger

Our streaming application should work with most devices that have an
internet browsing capability. Certainly computers, laptops, tablets and many
smart phones.
Please be aware that as streaming is a live feed from the internet (not a
static downloaded file) you need an active and good quality internet
connection for uninterrupted listening. We recommend that you also have a
contract with unlimited or at least high monthly data volumes or it could
prove expensive.
You can stream as well as receiving our postal service so always worth a
trial to see how you get on with it. The two services are independent so if
you stream a book it is a good idea to take it off your personal booklist
for our postal service if you have one.

I was interested by a comment by Cynthia saying she streams books onto her
iPad. I was under the impression it was not possible to stream to anything
except the computer. I don’t have, nor want, any Apple products but do have
a variety of other devices. Would it be possible to stream to one of these?
I do like the idea of downloading books on demand as and when I want them
thereby avoiding the need for post packages and waiting when the one you so
badly want isn’t forthcoming. But I don’t like the thought of being tied to
my computer.
