Good point! certainly you wouldn't want one of the earlier models. My only explanation is that sometimes you need more than one device at your disposal, its a bit like the iPhone and the iPod, you want to play music, read books or whatever on your iPod but keep the battery charged on your iPhone for those important calls, in other words horses for courses <smile>, point well taken all the same and yes, iPhones, Samsung Galaxy S4 phones etc do make the Victor Reader Stream seem very fossilised indeed!
