HELLO Brian, Do you know the details of the upgrade from the victor reader vibe to the wave. QA friend and I purchased the vibe from rfb an d in 2004 if I remember correctly. When the wave came out, my friend said he called rfb and d and spoke to someone and specifically asked if he could upgrade. He was told "no." so this is why I was interested in your post. Thanks.

Seems this design limitation was not apparent when Humanware, formerly VIsuAide of Drummondville, PQ first put the unit on the market. After the limitation was found out, Humanware offered a pretty good trade-in program for Victor Vibe owners to upgrade to its replacement, the Victor Wave. The problem was the Vibe was a commercial CD player that Humanware adapted for DAISY playback, but the Wave is designed and actually built by Humanware. Sorry to hear your Vibe is temperamental. I have a Victor Classic Plus and love it. Although most books I read I don't bookmark or have a page index, it can jump directly to a page number keyed in from its Touch-Tone style keypad. It also has nice sound quality. OK that's my mini sales pitch for the Classic Plus. But of course if you have to haul the darn thing from class to class, you would want something nice and compact. Take care. Brian -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
