No, you will be able to download the books on the PC but you won't be able to play them on the PC. You'll have to download them and then copy them either directly to the player or to a memory card to put in the player.KeithDoes that mean that, even if we had a machine for download, like Stream, or,lana5@xxxxxxxxxxx 09/28/07 12:14PM >>>hopefully soon, the Voice Sense, we still couldn't download books, after all?And all this time, they've been telling us we could. Now, I suppose, we'llhave to wait forever for the specialized machines and get our books on cartrige only, after all.

But anyway, the way it was explained to me is that it's a security issue. They consider the computer a security risk, so they won't permit you to do it through the computers.

"NLS doesn't want access with thecomputers?" Do you mean they don't want you to have access, or they don'treally want us to?----- Original Message ----- From: "PAMELA RADER" <PRADER@xxxxxxx>To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 8:08 AM Subject: [bookport] nls and current book port2Hi Nancy:Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. Apparently, the current BookPort does not meet the specifications for the NLS Digital books. We cannot include a workaround for the software with a key, because NLS doesn't want access with the computers.On the bright side (if there is one), at least we can develop Book Port 2to include the specs.

I know this setback is discouraging for all concerned. On a brighter note....any further word about APH coming up with a key to allow present BP users to download NLS books? Thanks for all the help you give us.

Unfortunately, hardware problems with one of the suppliers has put an unavoidable delay in the process. We now expect that Book Port II will not be available in the near future. It is difficult to predict with any accuracy when the newly redesigned device will reach the marketplace. APH will do everything in its power to reduce this time to market, but we want to be honest with our customers and allow them to make plans.
