I hope someone has an answer to this question because I’m in the same situation.

Hi All,


Do we have any standalone book readers comparable to the Victor Stream?


My Stream died this spring, so I've been listening to books on my smart phone. This is fine, but I'm one of those people who likes a dedicated device with hardware buttons. I have tried buying a new Stream. Unfortunately, HumanWare seems to be going through a quality control issue right now.


So I did some Googling. The Book Sense no longer seems to be on the market. I'm not sure whether the Plextalk and the Bookport Plus are on or off the market. And the Victor Trekk and Blaze EZ Reader are more machine and more money than I want to do.


What's out there? Mostly I'd like something that supports BARD and Audible books. Support for daisy text would be nice too, but the lack isn't a deal breaker.


Thanks for any wisdom.


Ciao
