Hi James,

I used to agree with you, until I got the N91 with Talks.  That, I believe
is now the best MP3 player around, and it plays Audible as well.

All the best

hi Alex

The milestone will not play audible content.  There is always the IPod
shuffle, which is accessible since it has no screen, but you would need to
buy either the ITunes accessible Interface for JAWS - which is more trouble
than it's worth, or Anopod Explorer to be able to transfer your content to
it,since you can't do it using Audible Manager.  I use a Book Courier and
would recommend you save up for one, it is one of the best mp3 and audible
players around and can also play Daisy talking books.
