Oh I reached out to them. They are ridiculous. I remember this company saying something if you had already purchased it. I’m off to find what that was. I will again encourage everyone to at the least contact them the more that don’t buy it the stronger message it will send them. This is more then 50 percent of what a Jaws subscription is in the USA I don’t think so.

Perhaps you should reach out to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> and ask about pricing in other countries. Or, as you say, just use Easy Reader.

It's free, thus I plan to use it even more if Voice Dream ends up being subscriptiononly. Good luck!

I never get audiobooks from books share, so book player I don’t care. Kind of sucks. I still think I should be able to download stuff as long as I don’t try to upgrade. You can always do that with everything else. If I have an apple device for instance, and it’s not getting updates anymore I can still use it. This kind of stinks from that aspect. They shouldn’t cut us off from being able to download anything from Bookshare because we don’t want to pay. What if we don’t give a good bloody damn about whatever they think they’re going to implement that we’re going to pay for. I’m not happy about that. But it’s the best thing out there so far. God knows the garbage from speech central doesn’t get it done. It’s too bad.

What is book player if you know? I had never heard of bookplayer app. There is no way I’m going to speech Central. It’s just too clunky. If he did what he’s been asked to do and implemented an easy way to download bookshare books right through the app, Then I would possibly reconsider. But I don’t give two figures for all that fancy Voice stuff he’s doing. I’m perfectly happy with what I have now.

But, if anyone wants to go back and look at what Winston Chen had said when he sold Voice Dream LLC., he made it clear that he would have had to begin charging a subscription to be able to maintain development and he had already started the Mac version as a subscription. $59 a year seems perfectly reasonable to me if you want the app to continue. You can always dump it for DAISY Easy Reader or Speech Central and deal with much harder interfaces and keep it free… Richard, USA "It's no great honor to be blind, but it's more than a nuisance and less than a disaster.
