[macvoiceover] Re: Olearia first public release (version 0.90b)

NLS will *never* be an option, at least not until they relinquish their idiotic stance to not allow playback of their books on any computer, be it PC or Mac. This is more than a bit frustrating, as I absolutely refuse to buy another player for their books as for all other purposes I don't need or want another one. Interestingly they allow certain notetakers. Does anyone know why they're restricting access to their books like this? We can throw around endless speculations--I've got some of my own--but anyone around here know the true reason for it?

Which format are the DTBs from the NLS Digital program, and does this program play them? I normally play them on my Icon, but would play them on this machine if that were an option. 


Thanks,


Dave
