Boy, you give 3 nice options to select from. I'm Googling info on all 3 devices. Wish there was a podcast or something that compared the 3. It's really tough to make a choice. Since my main use for the device will be to play Audible.com audio books, guess I need to stick with that device which does this the best? Can you tell me which one is your pick? yAt 06:39 PM 9/30/2013, you wrote: >I would recomand either the book port plus, plextalk pocket or booksense xt >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Aidan" <aidan.smartt...@gmail.com> >To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> >Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 3:53 PM >Subject: Re: Recommendations for an audio book reader? > > >I am very sorry to here that, but overall, most users find the >opposite.
