there is also the booksense which does many similar things and it arguably
has a better voice for reading text files and it is smaller though it is
somewhat more expensive. there really is no simple answer to which is the
best of the 2 devices.when you are spending over £200 on a piece of
equipment you need to look before you buy if at all possible. How easy this
is mmay depend on where you live. If you can get to RNIB in London you can
see both devices or if you have a proactive local blind society maybe they
can arrange a demo.

Friends,
The problem of how to read when travelling or on holiday used to worry
me a lot and as far as I am concerned, the Victor Stream is the answer.
I down load onto it books on line and music. It accepts both text files
and daisy books, and is also a digital recorder. Great little appliance
and fits into your pocket.
John

How do you get Eloquence on your Stream? Would much prefer that to the
Daniel and Samantha I've got in there at the moment to read text, didn't
think that could be changed.
Please tell me more!, off list as it might be considered off topic on
here.
Thanks in advance
Marie
