I suppose they yet again failed to add Audible support? No so-called book player is complete without this, and so far, the over-priced Blaze line has not supported it at all.

I think the handwriting is on the wall for these over-priced blindness devices! Can't wiat for the day when we can get devices like this for right around a hundred bucks. Will definitely get baptized in beer when these expensive, out of reach devices go to their graves!
