fair enough: let me say, I don't find any difference when listening to books. when listening to music, I always use headphones, and can't imagine listening to music through such tiny low-volume speakers to be pleasurable. I'll take your word about it if you mean they're better at music.

Wo dude then you must have some hearing los cuz the quality of the booksense speakers far out ways that of the Stream! I have both and have compared each side by side. You can take this as gospel since I have not been overly complimentry of the BookSense XT firmware to date. I have no issues pointing out bugs on either platform but, I try to make sure that my gripes are real and not tinged with bias! Food for thought eh?

I absolutely like the stream better in every way; it's not a popular opinion on this list I know. I do not find any difference in the sound quality of the speakers. I can't really find any use for the built-in memory of the xt, and see my other post recently in a separate thread on all the issues I've had with the bluetooth. the only reason I could think of to purchase the booksense and put up with it's numerous issues would be if you had to listen to files which were the copy-protected form of wma, which the stream won't play. I put them both in carrying cases on a belt-clip, so the slightly smaller size of the booksense is no advantage to me, and ends up making it harder to always find and press the correct key. the radio does not work when you're using bluetooth, something I forgot to mention in my bluetooth post; actually, it doesn't work when you're using the speaker unless you go plug in headphones. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Zach Bender [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 6:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [GW-Booksense] Booksense and the VR Stream Hi All I was wondering if anyone had any objective opion on the booksense compared to the VR Stream. I have a stream right now, but there are some things, like size and that you can put apple itunes files (?) on the booksense and have them be usable with the booksense. Now i am aware that there have been people who have talked about the battery life in the booksense is not as good as the VR. However is the speaker amplifier in the booksense offer louder output in maximum internal speaker volume due to the 1 watt output , vs the miliwatt output offered by the victor? is the speaker sound quality better or worse then the victor? Does the booksense do both RFB and NLS books at the present time? any performance issues that still linger from from previous concerns that were addressed on a few of the message boards a little while back? Basically should i use what i have for the present time and maybe wait until things improve a bit further with this device?
