The Victor Stream, but save up your pennies, for it costs a tad more than 
$250.  I think the best price you'll find for a new unit now is $327 with a 
1GB SD card from our place, Mee Inc.

As an aside, if you are willing to wait a bit longer, and maybe save up a bit 
more cash, the Booksense ought to be a strong competitor.  I'm thinking 
seriously of getting one.  They have two models: one with 1 gig of memory 
built in; the second has four gigs built-in plus an FM radio.  Both of them 
are expandable with SD cards, have a robust sound recorder capable of 
recording in real formats like mp3, with various bit rates instead of the very 
limited 8-bit wav format that the Stream uses.  Both those devices will be 
able to play NLS, RFB&D, Audible and Bookshare books.  The Booksense uses the 
Eloquence speech technology which will sound a lot nicer on texts than the VR 
Stream built-in text-to-speech.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Steve, K8SP

Hello to all,
I am trying to remember the name of the product that you can use to down =
load books from places like the   L C web sight.  I know some one told =
me that you could down load the QST and read the articles you wanted and =
not have to go through the whole thing.
I was thinking that is what I might get with the 250 rebate we are =
supposed to get.
I think that is what I heard it cost.
