For years, I have been avoiding the topic.
I realise now this was because on needing a whole new set of clobber, whether from the RNIB, my local library and other sources.
In the event I have chosen two me-audio apps Amazon Audible and NBL (local library).
Both apps now sit on my smartphone. Inevitably the chargeable one has a greater far greater selection. Traditionally I always read thrills and adventures and I read then fast. So I have set the speed at 1.4 (newspapers I listen to at 3, and it’s easy to repeat a paragraph.)
Absolutely fabulous,
