You can use IOS, although I haven't for some time so don't know how
accessible/easy to use it would be. You probably can't use a note taker, but
if you downloaded the books using the computer and the Overdrive program
there's no reason why you couldn't transfer the book to the Notetaker and
play the books through the native mp3 player.

You locate the books using the Overdrive web site, firstly logging in with
your account details. You can then download the books to a PC, or, I believe
a Mac using the Overdrive software. After this you can transfer it to any
MP3 player of your choice. I use a Stream.
There are also Overdrive apps for the Phone/iPod and I think for Android as
well.

Hello,
2 questions. 1) Those that were subscribed to over drive, will they get some
money? 2 for those of us that don't have it yet, on what can we navigate it
on, and play the books later?

Overdrive is included in this, according to someone from the RNIB on the
Talking Book list. I guess if you ring the helpline tomorrow they'll be
able to help.

For information only. I wonder if this means that overdrive will be free
as well? and how would you go about signing up?
Published November 9, 2015 by Natasha Onwuemezi
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has made Talking Books
free for all blind and partially sighted people to access from today (10th
November).
The charity made the announcement on the 80th anniversary of Talking
Books, the service that provides 4,000 audio books every day to people
with sight loss. Anyone who is registered as blind or partially sighted
can borrow up to six Talking Books at any time, completely free-of-charge.
Previously, customers contributed an annual subscription of £50.
The Talking Books service was launched in 1935 to help soldiers who had
been blinded in the First World War and were struggling to learn braille.
The National Institute for the Blind (now RNIB) and St
Dunstan’s (now Blind Veterans UK) joined forces to create
the Sound Recording Committee which originally recorded Talking Books onto
records to be played on gramophones.
Almost 30,000 blind and partially sighted adults and children use Talking
Books and the RNIB library is the largest of its kind in Europe, the
organisation has said.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, HarperCollins has become the
first publisher to commit to delivering every new title to the RNIB
library on the date of general publication; providing equal and immediate
access to current bestsellers for blind and partially sighted readers.
Neil Heslop, director of RNIB Solutions, said: “At RNIB we
feel passionately that reading can change the lives of blind and partially
sighted people. After losing my own sight at a young age, I personally
know how important the connection to the written word is, both for
education and leisure.
“I am delighted that HarperCollins has chosen to support
RNIB Talking Books and help improve accessibility through the library, we
hope that other publishers will follow their lead. We’re
committed to providing a world-class service which makes a huge difference
to many people.â€ÂÂ
Charlie Redmayne, HarperCollins c.e.o., added: “At
HarperCollins we are committed to ensuring that everyone in the UK can
access all our books in the format of their choice on the moment of
publication. As the publisher of the first ever ‘Talking
Book’ it is fitting that we should extend our support and
work in partnership with RNIB Talking Books to increase accessibility on
its 80th anniversary and beyond.â€ÂÂ
