I admit, NLS does bother me for that exact same reason. Why should we need a special player? I've heard the argument that it's no different from doing something like the Amazon Kindle, but that argument falls flat on one simple premice: you're not forced to use the Kindle if you don't want to. We are forced to buy another player, and I guess something in me rebels at that idea. Maybe I'm just an oddball, in fact I know I'm an oddball :), but I can't help but think that I have a laptop, as well as an iPod that does everything I need or want. The only thing it doesn't do is play NLS books, and I guess NLS just isn't important enough to me for me to want yet another device, especially if it's almost double the cost of something I already have and would serve me no other purpose.

You have to have a special player, ridiculous or not, no matter what OS you are using, and it's possible to download your books and load them onto your player using any of the Oses.-- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
