  By the way, the Ipod photo is the only device I use for Audible.  I
  use the other device for other things and they all just happen to
  support Audible.  All these devices have firmware, couldn't the
  companies who make them provide NLS support through a firmware update?
  How difficult would that be?

  I have been using a ipod photo for the last three years, and read
  Audible books on it all the time.  Well, since then, I have added a
  ipod shuffle, a Pioneer Inno, for XM, the Pacmate, and the Olympus
  DS50.  All these devices will play Audible books.  Now the Victor
  Stream comes along for $330.00, which will also read Audible, NLS, and
  probably soon, the RFB&D books as well.  I don't need the Victor
  Stream for Audible, and I have a Victor Wave for RFB&D books, so why
  spend $330.00 for a portable device just to read NLS books?  Can the
  ipod and other devices I mentioned above be updated to read these
  books?  It just seems like overkill to buy the Stream just to read NLS
  books.  Couldn't someone make a small player which would be the size
  of a thin remote for under $100.00 which could do the same thing?
  Anyway, I am just curious what the rest of you have to about what I
  posted here.
