hello paul, i use the victor reader stream for reading my audio books, it is not too difficult to operate, [hence me being able to use it] it can handle books from audible, daisy books, music files, and has easy to locate buttons, there is also another way of reading books, many providers of reading material are putting their books on pen drives, i know that calibre are doing that and i think NCBI might be doing the same, there is a boom box in to which the pen drive sits and there are easy to operate buttons, but for me it's the victor reader stream, i bring it everywhere, and feed my habet reading, take care, god bless, travel safely, joe.,
