Phil,

This is a program provided by only select regional NLS libraries to their 
patrons.  It is not a national program.  These libraries have decided to pay 
Overdrive's fees to provide this service.  some regional libraries have decided 
not to pay the fees and join the program.  Consequently, blind people in those 
states are not able to use this service.  

the Overdrive books from this service can be converted to MP3 using Sound Taxi.

     I suppose you all don't know  about the unabridged project. In short it is 
a web sight where blind persons who are receiving books from the national 
library service can sign-up to download digital books. I have been let to 
believe these books are in what is called wma format and, well, our bookport 
won't play them.
