Yes, you absolutely right, the stream doesn't have a clock which I know many people would like and which is nice about a pocket/bookport. I do enjoy my stream still and I mostly listen to daisy talking books on it but I hope in the new stream that they can build in the clock feature.

Oh, forgot to mention in my last message, that I use and Android phone, and I occasionally read Google books on it, and it does drain the battery rather quickly, but I purchased the extended life battery for it, and that has helped greatly. I also have the Darwin reader ap on it, which allows you to read books from bookshare. I still much prefer to read books on a device specifically designed for that purpose, however.

Network Folder won't work
by Roger Stewart 24 May '12

24 May '12

I've just tried to use the network folder function on this new Win 7 machine and it won't work. It just can't find the Plextalk device at all. This always works perfectly on my old Win XP machine and I haven't changed anything. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Roger
