[NABS-L] accessible e-book readers and audiable

[Seyoon Choi]

Hi Amy,
I’ve been honestly in an effort to ditch dedicated DTB player as of now. I have second gen stream as well, but I found it super inconvenient to carry multiple devices/chargers when I know my iPhone with apps like BARD mobile, audible and VoiceDream Reader could do all the things that Stream can. No, this isn’t anything against those who actually prefer DTB players either. I still have mine and would use it time to time and in fact find it useful when you simply want that dedicated device for throwing yourself into a world of book or just want to be away from your phone. 
As for the subscription for audible, I find it worth the cost. The service is far more mainstreamed, so the availability and quality of the books/narrators are certainly top notch. 

Hope this helps

Regards
Seyoon,
