Blind people in the U.S. should check with their public lending libraries to
see if overdrive or Net Library is offered to their patrons.  They are great
services and the books tend to be newer than fair from NLS.  They're
professionally recorded like audible books.

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.
