Hey Mary, You are so perfectly right, and to tell you the truth it's not only blind people who feels this way. But fascion is playing many of it's tricks on people you know. Also a dedicated device for special needs is wonderful. For example with a Victor you don't really need to care about power loss or battery drainage. Charge it once every second day, and you can read on and on as long as you like. Also manipulating the audio is a time consuming process. Lets say you need to go to a certain page in a daisy book with touch, or find a special fraze. This is technically speaking possible, but will always and I mean always take much longer with touch then with regular keys. If you're a student and is planning to study for 5 years these seconds becoming minutes becoming hours, becoming days, actually counts against the biological human clock, and would be a great unnecessary waist of precious time. Yes off course I do own the app Voice Dream Reader, and loves it, but believe me. I use my Stream 95 % of the time instead. I could use my nice Hims U2, and honestly don't know why I don't. Maybe because of it's size. But this little handy pocket device feels more like reading a real book then using apps for all purposes in life. :-)

I don't own one, but I still know plenty of blind folks who do much better with buttons than with touch; were thaIf you're a student and is planning to study for 5 years these seconds being minutes becoming hours becoming days actually count t not true, HumanWare wouldn't make this stuff.
