My dad is partially sighted with poor motor control. He likes audiobooks but every player I tried had tiny buttons and too many screens.

I’ve now made this one. Two screens, big controls, high contrast.

When I want to send him a new book, I just text him a link — he taps it and the book appears in his library.

It always comes back to the last book he was playing, ready to play again.

The settings are configurable via a link too.

This is very much made for my exact specific needs with him, but it’s open source and free if it helps anyone else.

@gary_bbgames awesome. Also FYI. if he is in the US he can get a blind audio reader from the Library of congress. BARD program. Including free audio books! They have a special copyright agreement for audio books for the blind.

Plus, you can make your own audiobooks for it too. Get cartridges from Perkins school for the blind. For my FIL’s 90th we created him a book of all the weekly family letters he had sent from India. 😊
