writermom8 Thanks for the useful tips! I would have to try that voice support feature. It would be cool to hear incoming messages read aloud to me :)

My siblings and I are very close since we were kids. Now that we all have our own spouses and children and live far away from each other, we still make sure to spend Christmas Day together as a whole clan, including our mom. It's...

writermom8 Glad to know that you also get to enjoy a meal together as a family like we do :) I consider that as one of life's simple and yet meaningful treasures.

writermom8 Hmmm, I will have to research on the legal side of downloading free audio books then. I haven't done that yet because I have no time to go browsing download websites these days. But I've read somewhere before that there are authors who give permission to...

writermom8 Yes, audio books help us take advantage of those times when we travel or are on the move and we can't keep still to read a book much as we want to.

writermom8 If you're adventurous enough to try out ebooks, then you should give audio books a chance too. Who knows, you might enjoy them also as I some of us here do :)

writermom8 That's a nice way of putting it: expanding what you have been able to read. I'm planning to do the same. Thanks!

writermom8 True, audio books have given us another option to learn new stories. I can even imagine how audio books could change lives for those who do not know how to read.

writermom8 I guess the circumstances would have something to do with liking or not liking audio books. For me, having not much time to read these days, I find it a blessing that I still get to listen to a story while doing other things.

writermom8 That's a good way of putting it. I agree, it's nice to read when you have time to sit down and open a book but it's also nice to be able to listen to a story when you have to be on the move. So sorry to hear about your husband ...

writermom8 Thanks for sharing! I hope I could also download some audio books for my ipod soon. Maybe you can check out eBay for bargain tape players so you can replay your tapes again :)

writermom8 Oh, I am with you when it comes to books being meant to be read. I will never turn my back on real books. In fact, one of my greatest treasures is my library of books that I've been collecting and reading for years. It's just that I'm at a time in my life...
