[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: Talking Daisy Book Player & Demo Podcast! Veteran's Day deal: Free Wall Chargers with Talking Mp3 Players!

[Baracco, Andrew W]

I heard an interview with the distributor on the Blind Bargains podcast. He said that it supports Bookshare, but not NLS or Audible.

I think the new Daisy player would support Bookshare books, particularly in the MP3 format, if that's helpful to anyone.
