[blindlaw] Portable devices

Fri Mar 9 12:50:38 UTC 2012

I have a book sense, and it was nice.  But devices like this are very
expensive for the benefits you get, and don't offer anything close to the
functionality of an iPod touch.  I use an IPad for my personal reading needs
now because it has a better speaker, and can read any audio format plus any
book on the Itunes library is also accessible.  The iPhone has a decent
speaker as well, better than book sense.  The apple portable products are
worth learning.

Randy,

Thanks much.  Yes, someone did mention this to me, I believe it is the Book
Sense.  I will look into it.

Otherwise, people are jut telling me to get an iPod Touch or an iPhone.

Regards,
Andrew

	I have heard that HIMS makes a similar device.  It is slightly more
expensive than the Victor Reader Stream, but apparently does more.

Hello all,

I would like to identify a highly portable and compact electronic device
that might be ideal for storing and reviewing data on the go.  The piece I'm
envisioning is one that I could easily carry along and pull out just about
anywhere, whether that's on the bus/train, working around the house, sitting
at the coffee shop, attending kids' soccer practice, etc.  I could use it to
download materials including cases, statutes, and assorted other documents
in a variety of digital formats.  I'd like to be able to easily arrange my
downloads into files for quick retrieval and review, and to be able to
highlight/bookmark salient portions of text.

Could I ask if, based either on personal experience or worldly wisdom,
anyone can suggest a device along these lines?  It has come to my attention
that the Victor Reader Stream  might be an apt choice, but I wondered if
there might be some other good possibilities out there.

Many thanks in advance!

Regards

Andrew Webb
