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
