For those of us who value a dedicated and accessible device, the VR Cardinal LE is a fantastic, multi-purpose tool that deserves attention. The Cardinal Reader LE is lightweight and easy to hold, and I really appreciate the physical buttons. The tactile numeric keypad and specially shaped keys make navigation intuitive and reliable, a welcome change from the sometimes frustrating gestures found on other devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
What sets the VR Cardinal LE apart is its dual-purpose functionality. It’s both a digital book player and a powerful orientation tool. The ability to switch between book reading and GPS guidance with a single button press is impressive. The Cardinal Reader LE serves multiple purposes as a standalone device, so there’s no need to carry several gadgets.
Long battery life is another major plus. Knowing the device can provide 12 to 15 hours of use on a single charge is ideal for long trips, allowing me to enjoy content and use the GPS features without draining my phone’s battery.
When it comes to content, the VR Cardinal LE offers much more than just audiobooks. You can download or transfer books from popular services, such as NLS BARD and Bookshare, directly to your device. But that’s not all. It’s also easy to stream internet radio, listen to podcasts, make audio recordings, enjoy music, and get daily news from NFB Newsline. With 32 GB of internal memory, there’s plenty of space for favorite books and media, and you can always expand storage with an SD card or USB flash drive.
The GPS features are a highlight, especially for route planning. The “Where Am I” key is incredibly useful for finding your current location, and the ability to record audio notes is perfect for creating voice-tagged landmarks. This makes planning routes and getting turn-by-turn directions to new destinations straightforward and convenient.
The VR Cardinal LE is a prime example of a device designed with the user’s needs in mind. It provides a reliable and accessible way to enjoy a wide range of content and navigate the world with confidence. Whether diving into a new audiobook or exploring a new neighborhood, this device is a dependable and essential companion.
