Well, everyone spends their money on different things.  Stuff I think is a 
total waste of money others can't wait to get and things I spend money on 
others wouldn't.  All I can say is I've had my stream since last November, 
and I love it.  Yes, when they do come out, the players will let me play 
talking books, but the stream will do a lot more with a key pad for pages, 
playing Daisy books, built in text to speech for reading text and html 
files and so forth.  It certainly isn't for everyone, but I sure do enjoy 
mine.
