I just download the books to my iPhone through the BARD Mobile app. When you do this, they end up in the right place. If you have books on your PC, you can use iTunes to transfer them over to your phone, but I have yet to do it this way. I'd have to look up the instructions or mess around with it myself first to figure it out.

One last thing I'm sure you know the answer to--if you could--I imagine
you have to copy talking books from your computer to the I-Phone.  Is
there a special area or folder where they are supposed to go, or does
the software figure that out?
Thanks,

You can download it directly from the App Store on your phone. This is
how I install most apps on my phone. Roughly, the steps are:
1) Go into the App Store.
2) Double tap the search tab at the bottom of the screen.
3) Find the search field at the top of the screen and type in the name
of the app you want to install. In this case, just type BARD.
4) You'll see some suggestions right below the search field. If the
BARD Mobile app is one of the suggestions, double tap on it,
otherwise, double tap the search button. Double tap on the BARD Mobile
app in the search results.
5) Double tap the get button and the app will be downloaded and
installed.

I have an I-Phone 6.  I've been gradually learning to use it--some by
accident.  I've discovered a couple of books from National Braille Press
on this, and have purchased those.  I haven't gone completely through
those yet, but I'm interested in downloading the app from NLS to enable
reading of digital talking books on my phone.  I gather that you have to
go to the I-Tunes store for this.  Is this something you need to do
through a computer, or can you download it directly from your I-Phone?
I do know how to read--or listen, but I also believe in taking a
short-cut when possible.  I'd appreciate any help on this.
