Well, as luck would have it, I live in Mexico, but I happen to be in the US right now staying with a friend who’s in tech-support and he’s been trying to help me with this with no luck. I’m trying to use Karen, which is an a cappella voice. No matter what we do we cannot open it. We can’t sample it. We can’t use it. I think it’s time for me to think about using a different app. So I’m gonna start another thread asking people what they use to read their books with. If Voice Dream reader has become so unfriendly as far as users then I’m not sure I want to support a company like that. I’ve used them for as long as they’ve been around and it’s gonna be really hard to let them go. I appreciate all your help, but I think I’m at the end of the road unless I subscribe. I know that whenever it was that Winston sold the company there was a conversation on this list about how about how things were gonna go. I also remember conversations on this list when Voice Dream was requiring subscriptions. I see now they have an announcement saying because of the pushback you no longer have to subscribe and they will continue to support the way things were when we initially paid money for the app. Apparently that’s not true. In case you can’t tell, I’m pretty angry and frustrated. I’ll get over it as soon as I find another app. :-)
