The September issue of AccessWorld, just published by the American Foundation for the Blind, features Deborah Kendrick's article Picking a Player: A Roundup of Devices for Playing NLS and Other Talking Books. This article is a great resource for readers in need of assistance with choosing a digital talking book player.
