How do you deal with the tts volume blasting your ears off with headphones?

I've been reading RFB&D books on my Book Sense Standard model since
support was added in January. It works great. The only two minor things
are that for books beyond a certain length,, because they design their
books to fit on CD's, more than one folder is used, one for each CD of the
book; so you can't navigate throughout a large book the way you can with
an NLS book. Also, you need to actually go into the folder where each
RFB&D book is stored before you can play it. Other than those minor
issues, it really works very well. (I think they could notch up the top
reading speed a bit, too, but it's fine for me most of the time. And many
people have asked for a bit more volume for NLS and RFB&D books. This can
be an issue for some books when using it on speakers, but I tend to use
headphones most of the time, so while there are occasions when I would
like some more volume, it's not a major problem for me.)
I think the Book Sense has some weaknesses as a portable music player,
although I still use it quite a bit for that as well. But if your main
interest is in audio books, particularly RFB&D, I don't think you can go
wrong.

Howdy folks,
I've been considering purchasing a digital book reader. I am wary of
Humanware products for a couple of reasons, which I don't feel it
necessary to go into here. I was thinking of purchasing a book sense,
since I own several GW Micro products and have been happy with just
about all of them. I have Window-Eyes, a Voice sense, and a Sync
Braille. The Voice Sense I don't really use because it doesn't meet all
of my portable computing needs, but I've played with it anyway and its a
nice device in spite of that.
I need something that is portable and can read rfb&d (this is an
absolute requirement, not a maybe). I see from the web site that the
book sense products now do support RFB&D. Do all models support that?
And can anyone tell me there experiences using this product? I need to
make my dicision soon, so any feedback any of you can give on the book
sense line of products would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
