It does appear that the lite version is no longer there, but that is no great loss as it was pretty useless anyway. It was extremely limited for testing if you are a blind user. Remember, his original market was to sighted users who wanted to be able to listen to documents or books while driving. If you look up the story of the app, he didn't know anything about accessibility until after he created the app and started getting questions from blind users and someone pointed out to him the lack of access to printed material and how much potential his app had for people who are dislexic. Once he found out how helpful the app is to blind and visually impaired, he put his focus there and has made tons of major improvements for VoiceOver users and for dislexics. He also created a great note taking app called Voice Dream Writer. If you are wanting to listen to BookShare books, it is the best app by far for doing that. You may want to buy other voices than the default Heather, and they can be from $1.99 to $4.99 each depending on manufacturer and quality. But, it is my most used app and thanks to someone on this list, I can now convert my Kindle books so I can listen to them with Amy in Voice Dream. Richard
