[Plextalk] My Book-Port DT May Have Died?

Well, looks as if the BP list is gone, so hopefully some of you may have suggestions. Hi All: Not even knowing if this list is still active? I am a news-junky-and-I have 16 catagories on a rather large sd-card which can hold more than 4thousand hours of audio. So I toggled over to where it said "Sky-News" in the middle of that phrase, it quit. So I thought if it were the speaker which went out, I would shove an ear-phone in. No sound, no-matter what. I realize APH doesn't sell these any more, but are their any similar units with good audio-and-lots of recording-and-maybe editing options? I bought my Wife an EVO6 or some number. Would something like that work for me? Thanks so much in advance Chime
