I had the same problem so took the machine to the local mobile phone shop where they changed the battery for me, apparently its a simple mobile phone battery and easy to change. It cost me a mere 4 pounds. Bernard On 4/1/2025 4:55 PM, Susan Bourke via groups.io wrote:

I am puzzled by this mention of the "Sonnet player".听 Can anyone tell me what it is, or was?

I produce/compile a talking newspaper in the Wet Midlands and as it happens we still have some of the old Kings Audio players to hand out to our listners, but would dearly like to get a player somewhere near to its ease of use. there is the one produced by Synnaptic but its not an ideal replacement.听 the RNIB USB players don't quite cut it either. Sad to say I fear we won't see a replacement for the Kings player because of the small market for one, but also sooner or later local TN producers are going to be online only in the next decade.Ray.

would make the following short comments. 1. Evo 10 is likely to be about 拢150 cheaper than a Stream 3. 2. It will have a narrower spec but if all you want to do is read daisy books, play music or possibly eBooks it might be fine. 3. The Evo 10 is not the latest incarnation, the Evo 12, whilst a bulkier beast is a later model. 3. The cotemporary cheaper HumanWare device to the Evo 10 was the Victor Reader 2, but I am not sure if this is still available and is of probably limited life now. 4. The more expensive Victor Reader 3 has both a wider user base and wider range of specs. It got a bad reputation for bugs when first released as it was rushed out to compete with the SensePlayer, but gradually bugs seem to be squashed with successive updates. The VR 3 firmware is far more developed than the Evo, with genuinely searchable Podcast apps Internet Radio including BBC stations, and other bells and whistles like Wikipedia, Tunein, and Bookshare connectivity. Whether these are important enough to you to pay the extra price is your decision. David Griffith , -----Original Message-----

to have a folder called Daisy, which is more logical than $VRDTB. I think the speaker is better in the E10, but that's subjective.

I must correct you on one point, the E10 does not replace the E12, they are different animals, since the E10 does not have built in stereo speakers, but the E12 does.
