Wow, *smile.* This is definitely a preference thing.
I find the booksense plays nls books just fine. Only occasionally have I
sped up the book, and even then, it met my needs.
Are we talking books with human narators? How fast do you like it? *Grin,*
like the chipmunks? *Smile,* I'm only joking.

The answer to all of those is "Yes". I have an XT. My only problem with
it is that the NLS books don't play fast enough. I recently received a
digital player from the National Library Service, and it plays those books
considerably faster. If you're going to listen to a lot of NLS books, you
should consider getting one of those, or perhaps a Bookport Plus, or a
Victor reader stream.
However, the voices for the text to speech application are much better on
the Book Sense. There are some pronunciation glitches that can be a
little annoying at first. However, they are few. Additionally, the Book
Sense plays a lot more kinds of audio files. I'm glad I bought one, but
for now, I'm using the digital player from NLS for that kind of book. I
hope HIMS does something about increasing the speed for NLS books. It's
better to have to slow your book down then to wish you could listen
faster.
Conclusion: Buy a Book Sense XT.

It's a pleasure to meet you all , and I look forward to exchanging
ideas with you and learning from you. My name is Merisa I'm a
booksense user to-be. Whether or not I'll buy it from a dealer or GW
Micro directly. I'll decide tomorrow. I'm leaning more toward buying a
Booksense XT rather than a classic model. Four gigabytes of internal
memory sounds wonderful and FM radio too. I was wondering if any of
you are using Booksense XT and how do you like it? I'm wondering can
booksense play files such as RFBD NLS and stuff from bookshare?
Thank you!
