"The best thing (with DTBs) is that I don't have to worry if the postman has put the parcel out of the rain."

"Even with everyone's best intentions, you can run out. And a day or night without a talking book can be a very long time. With digital books, they are there in a minute."

"As soon as I finish a book, another book arrives without any trouble at all - if I push the right button!”
