Hi;
Apparently they are coming out with a new improved booksense that
will let you both download from bookshare and has a camera for o
c r. Didn't like the price. 695.00 on special seemed a bit
high. On the other hand still recovering from sticker shock
concerning the surface 3. Might just as well buy a laptop and
get it done. I've never played with notebook computers but the
price is much more reasonable and I wonder if you could still get
the basics done?

As of now, the booksense is behind times. You can't download
books from
bookshare or bard directly to it. You can't subscribe and
download
podcasts . This can be done on the second generation Stream.

the book sense is on par with the victor stream for operability
and how you
use it...listen to the tutorials and so on and you'll find the
book sense is
actually quite a powerful and useful device.
Take up smoking, it's like gambling, but cheaper and then the
smoke in the
casino's won't bother you lol.

Hi,
Writing this from South Lake Tahoe. Man the area sure has built
up since =
the last time I was here, probably 15 years ago.=20
I hate all the noise and cig smoke in the Casinos. I like to
play B J =
but I don=E2=80=99t like to lose money so I rarely gamble.
I=E2=80=99ve =
done 10 Jazz cruises and I think I lost $20 one time.=20
Your device sounds great but too much dough.=20
BTW- I have a Book Sence I think it is called. I never could
figure out =
how to use it. I=E2=80=99ve been thinking about selling it and
buying a =
Victor stream. That way you could teach me how to use it.=20
Also, do you use Echo Link? If so maybe you could teach me how
to use it =
also. Years ago I used it but I know it has changed a whole lot
since =
then.=20
Did you go to Rehab to really get trained for something? Or did
you go =
just so they would buy you that recorder?=20

Bob, it's not much larger than a cell phone. I got it about
4=20
years ago when I retired and I don't know who sells them
because=20
I got it from Rehab. You could look it up on Amazon or google
I=20
bet and I think they cost around $350 or did then, but not
sure=20
of the cost. All the buttons have speech output so it's easy

set up your recording mode, get a pretty good idea if your
level=20
is correct, get file lengths and battery status and much more.

Am listening now on 7.189 if you want to try that, Jim WA6EKS

Is it complicated?
Do you have to look at a menu?
How much is it?
Where did you get it?

you=3D20

might have better pre-amp's but the Pocket Plextalk does
alright. =20
