Hi, Ok lets finish the discussion of subject lines. Wherever possible try and keep the subject related to the list discussion point (Plextalk products), and keep the subject line relating to what we are discussing at the time. We are a friendly group and wherever possible we should keep the tone as friendly as possible. Spreading the love, the list owner.

Re: [Plextalk] Debate about subject lines

Yes, how crazy would it be if the subject must be changed all the time, isn't it about learning from others at the end? I am not saying that we must do all what we want, but I doubt that anyone subscribed to this list to only chek subject lines, InFact, I send many emails without a subject simply cause in most cases its useless if you email someone privately and rais your matter clearly. I don't think most of us are book or poem riters that we would be bothered with things like this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Cuthbertson" <jamie.cuthbertson(a)ntlworld.com> To: "'Plextalk User Discussion List'" <plextalk(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 4:50 PM Subject: [Plextalk] Debate about subject lines > George, > > Mind you, you have yourself continued to carry on this conversation under > an > erroneous subject line.

Yes, you have a point there. The only thing I don't like about the pocket is that it mute the audio wile rewinding and forwarding. And it is a bit slow in that regard. You should have more control over that and a thirty second timejump is great but its to big sometimes. They should add five seconds, and ten seconds also. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wanda" <pinkrock(a)samobile.net> To: <plextalk(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [Plextalk] iPhone/iPod touch > i, too, have both the Plextalk Pocket, and the Stream.

i, too, have both the Plextalk Pocket, and the Stream. I just recently purchased the Stream, and am still trying to decide which i like the best. I think I'm leaning toward the Pocket, though. The one thing I like better about the Stream, is that it has longer playback time. It has about double that of the Pocket. The one thing I don't like about it, is that it doesn't give you the date and time. At least if it does, I have not been able to find that setting, and I read the User's guide from beginning to end.

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.

Hi, Yes, the iPod Touch is a lot more suted to playing music, it lasts a lot longer. Not sure about reading DAISY books, though don't see why it would be different.
