Welcome back, Sherry! tina CL: False Scent by Ngaio Marsh NL: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larson ... Tina V. Hold onto your breath, Hold onto your...
I was in a huge wholesale grocery store today and I passed by their bookstand which had a bestseller rack. I stopped and laughed out loud when I saw "The...
The same thing happened with the book Q&A. Since the movie came out, you may now know the book as Slumdog Millionaire. I see that audible now put the name...
One of the points I was making is that the label "Major Motion Picture" is subjective and perhaps overused. In the US "The Reader" still listed at being at...
Hello! I just found this group. I just re-signed up with Audible.com about 4 months ago. I love the service. I mainly listen to the books via my notebook...
http://www.ctutor.net/mp3reviews.htm is my website review of a variety of audiobook players. I'm sure there is enough variety in the opinions of our members...
Wow! Just joined the group and you're starting a fight already! :)  Ipod vs good MP3 players is the major battle in this forum. You can probably guess...
Kirsten, There's the Victor Reader Stream produced by HumanWare, which is easy to use, it has to be or I wouldn't be using it, and which plays Audible books. ...

So why am I the only person talking about a stream? Is it too expensive? For folks who are U.S. citizens, you can also download NLS books to a stream and a...

I just wanted to add two points to Barry's excellent overview: 1) If you can use Creative products with Macs IF you partition your hard drive and install...
Miriam, this is not a blind specific list. Though several of us on the list use the stream, me and you for instance, this is a generic list, with both blind...

There are several blind members here but I think most are sighted. This group is for the general population and includes lots of everyone.  Barry ... ...
I kind of thought that as I was writing the message. But I do know of some sighted people, a few students, especially, who love the stream. Go figure? It is...

For someone who wants to listen in a fairly noisy environment they might want to look into the sort of earphones that work like earplugs to block outside...
Barry, Thanks. I've actually just forwarded all the information about the various devices plus your information about earphones to my friend so that if she...

I just purchased a Creative Zen and am very happy with it. My audiobooks (Audible.com primarily) work very well on the Zen. I also installed a full movie to...
It's a device, an MP3 player, specially made for people who are blind or visually impaired. It has no screen and is operated completely by verbal feedback....

I did partition my MacBook and did install Windows on it and did all in all think it was a big bunch of nothing and after a year plus I removed Windows and...
Miriam, every time I start a book I have to readjust to hearing rather than reading. But my hearing goes back to the early 80s when I listened to books on tape...
Thanks, Sherry. Elaine When you're the top dog, everybody wants to put you in the pound. --Charles Barkley Hello Sherry On Sunday, January 4, 2009, you wrote...
Actually the Ipod is just about the only player that doesn't have an FM radio. A lot of players not only have a radio but let you record from them.  Barry...
I'm very excited to find an Audible group, which I read about while reading Audible reviews. It seems your group loved a book this reviewer hated. Anyway,...
I forget just where it is but they have a place on Audible's site where you can request a book. It might be under "Contact Us". I used it a couple times...
Thanks for all the great suggestions, guys! I didn't mean to start a fight. I honestly am quite ignorant of all the different devices. It's just that I had...
The simple answer about MP3 players is that if they have the features you need for audiobooks it doesn't matter all that much which one you get. They all...
... I've used it to request the Stephen Briggs reading of "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. No joy. And that's a real itch, as I know they've...
There's actually an email address to which you can write with your requests. But, unfortunately, I've lost it. Someone else on this list may have it. It's...
