[Ct-nfb] Book readers

Terry,

The Stream is compatible with RFB&D now called Learning Ally.  You need to authorize a key as you probably did with NLS when you first got the Stream.

When I download digital books from NLS, I save them to my book folder on my computer then use Windows Explorer to open them then I cut the individual title from my book folder and paste it into the Stream into the DBT folder on the Stream.

I never used Humanware’s software to transfer books and I also found it easier to insert my SD card into my computer then to connect the Stream via the USB cable as sometimes transferring books took longer this way than to insert the SD card.

on the stream

Hi All,

I have had a victor stream for about 3 years and have had no trouble with the stream. One exception is how to download books from the NLS book collection. My stream is fully authorized for the  NLS collection. Does anybody know if the stream is compatible with the RFB&D collection? Please let know regardint the above issues. 

Thanks

Terry

I have been using a Victyor  Reader every day for almost 3 years [3 months shy of 3 years].  I just had about 1 month ago a problem that it would not hold it's place when turned off.  I got in touch with technical help and they were very nice on the phone.  They made several suggestions for me to try, but it did not correctly work by the time I got off the phone with them.  They suggested I send it in to them.  That night I relocated the spot I had ended the night before and during the night the battery ran totally out.  The next day I charged it up all day and went to bed listening to it.  I turned it off and a little while later turned it back on and it was right where it was suppose to be.  It worked perfect since then.

They had told me to take the battery out for 10 minutes when I was talking to the techs and then put the battery back into it.  It seems like it had to get the charge totally out of it and then hit the reset keys they had told me.

I do use an IPod to listen to books as I have 2 accounts that I pay for audible.com book clubs.  So I use both the Victor stream and the IPod and am very happy with both of these.played it for a while and that night

  Hi,

  I’m wondering if anyone can give me their opinion on whatever digital book readers they’re using or, alternatively, point me in the direction of some links on articles comparing the latest digital book readers on the market.  

  I’ve been having trouble with my Victor Stream and am considering purchasing another brand.  

  You can email me directly at:

  Thanks.
