Brian, I hadn't thought bout that advantage for Bluetooth. Chalk one up for your good-natured recommendation!

HI, Also for the Stream 2? Cool! I didn't know that. I must ask my vendor, if he has a such. I have a great bluetooth headset, which can automatically switch from my iPhone to a Book Sense, and back again. So when you're in a bus or a train you can both listen to audio books, and check your messages at the same time with just one headset. The brand is Jabra. The Stream now also has support for bookshare with the latest firmware update. Ok then on to the final 2 ultimate arguments for Book Sense XT. grin The weight. The Book Sense xt weighs less then the stream, and also is a bit smaller. And a really nice FM radio, when you wanna check the news on the go. I have a good sound bar with bluetooth, so I can use the Sense for music playing at a very nice and high quality from the Book Sense XT. This gives me the freedom of sitting in my sofa controlling the music playing directly and remotely from the Book Sense with no additional cabling cludder all over the place. Both players are good players in my oppinion.

There is also a good-quality leather case with a strap that you can buy for the Stream that makes it highly portable. No need of Bluetooth. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Brian Olesen Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 8:36 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Recommendations for an audio book reader? Hi, But the ability to be able to connect a bluetooth headset and the much better speed really is a plus for the book sense xt. And the navigation isn't so difficult as you suggest. Al.Also the carieing bag optional that fits the Book Sense nicely is a big plus, when you go portable.

Yes, they all nice, but since the guy here have audible as his main concern, I stil suggest the stream, because with the pocket and bookport plus you con't add bookmarks in the same fassion if at all in an audible book, and they support less formats. The booksense support audible but it can sometimes be confusing for some users as to when and where wich books will remember wich playback positions. With the stream its simplified. Each bookshelf have dedicated rules wich also making organizing of content easier. With bookport plus and alike you don't have the same amount of control.
