"As part of my work, I often have to look through reference books. VR Stream is a valuable tool. It lets me go directly to a specific section or page and quickly find the information I need. When I relax, I use it to flip through a magazine that I've downloaded from the Internet. Wherever I go, my Victor Reader Stream is with me in my pocket."
