It seems to me I've heard a whisper or two that there'll be a Stream with wifi capability sometime in the future (I believe the Book Port Plus and Plextalk Pocket have wifi capability) but, frankly, there's a long way to go to make wifi downloads on DAISY players practical or useful.

In reading about the options currently available, the Stream still seems my best option because I do use the ability to search for a word or phrase in a text document, which most of the readers seem not to include.
