I too remember those
days and I still use nls, but much anymore but i recently got 2 books recenarly
and one looks like it'll be great do audio actually so I'm hanging on to them
for whenever I finish the braille ones from bookshare
they are good still for some things but I do think they should redo some older
ones for better quality
