Did the BookSense and wish I had gone for the PlexTalk.
I've looked at the Book Share stuff. Does have a lot of good reads there,
but don't want to mess with the membership/subscription fees. Translated,
that means there are still unpossessed Mozart recordings with my name on
them. And I prefer human readers whenever possible.

Book Share has a huge amount of new and old material, probably more than
Learning Allie, and a lot of it comes direct from the publishers now without
any mistakes. It's a much better selection then what you would find on the
Kindle, and free through Bookshare beats the exorbitant prices you pay for
most kindle books.
Also the Kindle device itself is still pretty much an accessibility
nightmare. Since the initial improvements were made in the Kindle 3 a
couple of years ago, not much has changed. Example, the menus speak, but
the store does not, so you must use the computer to make purchases. If you
did get a device such as the book sense or the Victor Stream you could put
your book share and learning Allie books on there.

This idea of "just saying no" to smart phones and i-devices is becoming a
matter of pride for me. It's a challenge to see how long I can hold out. As
long as there are quality reasonably priced recordings of Mozart I don't
possess, I think I can stay the course. The bigger temptation is an Amazon
Kindle, but Learning Ally has helped me pass on that thus far.

I bet there is an app that would do that, if that is what you want your
iPhone to do. *smile*:)

Hmmmm, so what you are saying is that I can have an accessible phone that is
inaccessible. Sounds like a contradiction, but it is really a paradox.

And that's why I like the smart phone. I can turn it off altogether, just
have it give me the caller ID info, or set do not disturb. I can see what
calls I missed and control who reaches me so much better than I ever could
with my land line.

Me, with an accessible smart phone? Surely you jest!
I would cut the land-line if I could get away with it.
12 years of taking tech support calls pretty well cured me of my phone
addiction. I have developed a nasty Pavlovian response to ringing
telephones.

There are all types of Android or IPhone podcasts out there if you have or
are interested in getting an accessible smart phone. Serotek.com has a lot
of good podcasts.

If you aren't limiting yourself to strictly blind related stuff, I would
recommend Security Now. Just Google it. I don't do podcast; just grab the
MP3s the old fashion way.
www.grc.com/securitynow
Twit TV has a ton of interesting podcasts on loads of subjects.
Don't have the URL off the top of my head, but Google twit TV will get it.
