[Nfbf-l] kindle readers

[Jim Ellsworth]

Hi Kathy,

There are so many options for listening to Audible books.  I am currently 
using my Plextalk player for all my reading whether it be from Audible or 
NLS.  The Victor Reader Stream will also do a nice job.  Of course you could 
also get an MP3 player or an iPod but they won't allow you to listen to 
books from NLS.  However, the iPod does so many other things.

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for the information.  I am just starting to explore ways of getting
new reading material, so I don't have to wait so long for books from
Daytona.  I just signed up for the BARD program and downloaded my first book
on flash drive.  I like it, but it seems a bit complicated to me.

On Amazon.com they have a service called audible.com, but I am unsure what
device I should get to put the downloaded books on.  Should I get an MP3
player or an Ipod?  What is your best suggestions?
