Hi, Course it won't. Any reader can only read PDF text. I wouldn't imagine an OCR component in the Plex.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

I agree there. They inspired APH to really do nice things with the bookport and some of their other devices but I agree in some ways Plextalk can also improve. Nice comment though.

Hi,
For my part, I hope it does Audible enhanced audio. None of the Plextalks do that so far, and it's time they did.
They are so ahead on some things, and so behind on others.
All the best
Steve

I like the sound of it It sounds similar to the DT in some ways but it sounds like a real nice machine. I hope all plextalk users can have the ability to upgrade from their pocket to this new lineo pocket. Thanks Aidan, nice article. Plextalk is a great company.
