If you use the mobile app, you have a book or two or two dozen with you where ever you take your smart phone. You can get more any time you have a network connection. I never use the digital player they sent me any more. I probably use the tape player more often. That mobile app is a beautiful thing. It is sweet. I don't know if there is an android version but another seet app is read2go for bookshare. On 07/29/14 14:09, Al Sten-Clanton wrote: > Kyle, glad you can do that.
