The NLS player can't play Audible books. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 8:33 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Recommendations for an audio book reader?
I would say that the standard player might be okay if all you ever want to do is just "read a book!" But you're right; if you want to skip ahead and do other things; if you want to read magazines, then one definitely wants the advanced player!

It has no internal memory. It uses a flash drive. So whatever you can store on the drive. I don't know how big the drive can be. Best thing to do is just call your state library for the blind and have them send you one. If you don't like it, send it back. Like I said, it's free. But make sure you order the advanced player, not the standard player, otherwise you won't get most of the important navigation features. I don't even know why they make the standard player. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Salien Brown" <say...@gmail.com> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 2:34 PM Subject: Re: Recommendations for an audio book reader? > Thanks for the suggestions.
