That is what I used to do also. When my Victor Streem bitt the dust for no 
reason I use the digital player that I got from the library. I miss my 
victor streem bunches cause I could put it in my purce and take it to the 
doctors and listen to it while I was waiting to be called in to be seen. 
Does anyone know of anyone that I can call to find out if there is a place 
that I can call or send this streem to get it looked at to see if it can be 
fixed.

Can you give us an idea on the size of the Bookport plus and estimate
price?  I got a Victor Reader Stream maybe 3 years back and it goes to bed 
with
me every night so I can listen to a book to sleep.  Don't count sheep,
just listen to a good book.

Hi all,  I love the NLS player too! I have one and I use it for reading
books
when  I either don't want to use my Book Port Plus or whenever my Book Port
Plus  is doing something else other than reading books. This machine is
also
great for the road for whenever you want to keep a book reader with a
longer
than ten or twelve hour battery life with you.
