[Nfbf-l] Digital book players

[Kirk]

I Love mine as well! I like the sound on it  so much better than the old 
ones also, don't you? I was surprised at first also on how simplistic they 
have made it for us to use! It was well thought out as far as the function 
keys and such. I have yet to meet anyone that has been using it that had 
anything negative to say about it other than perhaps what you have mentioned 
about the 3 limit rule with the digital cassettes! Take care, KH

I have had several student ask me about how to use the Digital book players.
I also know that one of the Adapt Tech class teachers is teaching it use to
at least one more student who I received theirs this past week.
They are great units and I love mine. The one thing I don't like about it is
that you can only have three books out at one time. When you get three read
them and sent them back there is about a week or two that you are without
books. I turn mine in in person but I have to wait for them to be mailed
back to me.
