New question:
Could you evaluate your readers from the standpoint of a mostly blind user who wanted to use them for listening to audio books (in mp3 form)? Can you set font size to large for the library pages so that it's easy to choose a new book? (assume that all distracting material is removed, ie. only audiobooks are present)
My mother is legally blind, and listens to lots of audiobooks. For her, a cassette tape is the easiest, because the controls of the player are easiest to handle. There are specific cd players that work, but they're not really as portable as she would like, and most others are difficult to see/manage. iPods and similar devices have screens and controls that are just difficult enough to discourage her from trying.
I wonder if one of the touch-screen models would have a combination of large enough fonts that she could touch the correct book and start/stop/pause play.
Also, do they recognize the standard audiobook formats, or just straight mp3 files?
