so, are both choices available? monthly subscription and yearly subscription?

Not sure if I’ll sign onto the $60, but honestly, I more than got my money’s worth and then some for this app if this is the case. I believe BookPlayer also has an in-app payment option for cloud storage and syncing. For some folks, the 60 bucks for VDR might even be worth it as you can use just one app for both eBooks and audiobooks. Everyone knows their own budget though.

What is book player if you know? I had never heard of bookplayer app. There is no way I’m going to speech Central. It’s just too clunky. If he did what he’s been asked to do and implemented an easy way to download bookshare books right through the app, Then I would possibly reconsider. But I don’t give two figures for all that fancy Voice stuff he’s doing. I’m perfectly happy with what I have now.

But, if anyone wants to go back and look at what Winston Chen had said when he sold Voice Dream LLC., he made it clear that he would have had to begin charging a subscription to be able to maintain development and he had already started the Mac version as a subscription. $59 a year seems perfectly reasonable to me if you want the app to continue. You can always dump it for DAISY Easy Reader or Speech Central and deal with much harder interfaces and keep it free… Richard, USA "It's no great honor to be blind, but it's more than a nuisance and less than a disaster.
