The following couple of testimonials are for the Victor Reader Stream:

Just wanted to let you know that I purchased my Victor Reader Stream the day I received your e-mail, and had it the next day. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and never leave home without it. Thanks so much.

Money well spent.

Finally, I just want to add my thanks for developing such a great product at such an awesome price! I have never been much of a book reader and had considered purchasing a product from the competition, namely the Bookport. After I read the initial reviews on the VictorReader Stream, I was hooked on the player and knew I had to have one.

I finally purchased a player in late November and wonder why I waited so long! I should also add that a co-worker purchased a player site unseen after I told him all about the player. In fact, my wife liked the player so much, she bought one too!

The design of the player, including size, is outstanding! The player has such great features and is a breeze to use. I love the fact that the VR Stream is so compact in size and weighs so little. I can honestly say that the VictorReader Stream has turned me into an avid reader!

Like a good paperback, I just can't seem to put the VictorReader Stream down. Outstanding job Humanware!! Looking forward to your response.
