Hey. Couple of interesting responses here so far. I'd say that both Audible (and potentially other commercial/semi-commercial services) will have their place and so will specialised services/libraries producing DAISY. I think the person who suggest that there are some materials that will just never be available from Audible is probably right, but it all depends on what you read. There's a huge amount of stuff available through Audible and commercial audiobooks do often tend to be of a high reading standard, so for people like me (and, I suspect, yourself), this will probably suit our needs nicely. I do most of my reading on a braille display though.

With the advent of such services as Kindle and Audible along with quite a few others do list members think that Daisy will die or will their even be a need for Daisy in the not to distant future. With my Echo Show paired to my Braille Display I now read a huge amount of content from Kindle though I can have the Show read this out using the built-in TTS. I'm also a great fan of Audible, I've had an Audbile account for years but haven't used it very much until recently. Again the Echo Show will handle Audible quite nicely though I do tend to listen to Audible content through my Samsung phone which has incredibly good sound particularly for spoken workd material or perhaps Audible is doing a little optimisation somewhere in the audio chain <smile>. I don't have a particular view on the question I asked above, I'm just curious as to what other viewpoints are on this topic. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
