Hi Deb,

If you decide on the Plextalk I know someone who has a brand new one that will sell it for $250.00. Let me know if you are interested.

Deb,

I use a player called Plextalk Pocket PTP1 and like it very much.  I believe it is more compact than the Victor and is priced lower.  It is about the size of my I Phone.  I have found the Plextalk very easy to use.  The only problem I found relates to the instructions, which I found confusing. However, Pextalk has a very good telephone help desk.  The person on the help desk actually responded promptly to my voicemail and walked me through the steps needed to set it up on my computer.

They are both about the same price if I recall right.

Suzanne,
 
Are both priced around the same?  or is either a bit different in price?

	Deb- I have both units you mentioned because my Victor was misdiagnosed as having a corrupt motherboard.
	It had a corrupt SD card.  Big difference.
	 
	Both work and I prefer the Victor Stream because it’s easier to set sleep timer and navigate through books.
	 
	I do like the Booksense too and try to use them equally as to not lose familarity with one or the other.
	 
	I like the alarm feature on the Booksense for when I want to time myself on the tread mill while walking.  Booksense also has a more pleasant voice for text to speech files in my opinion.
	 
	If I had to buy one or the other again- I would buy the Victor Stream just for ease of use, but both products are good.
	 
	 
	Booksense has more steps to accomplish the same thing in my opinion.  I also like the case for the Victor.

	As someone who enjoys the digital player from the library in Rocky Hill, I am hoping to hear from those of you who use a smaller device that can download books from the  library. Daisy players such as "Booksense" or "Victor Stream" or any other similar devices that may be out there. Which ones do you use and why do you like it? Thank-you, Deb Reed
