I use the CNIB's digital library which has a link to Netlibrary. Will I be
able to listen to Netlibrary's audio books on the BookPort?
From Netlibrary Help:
"NetLibrary's eAudiobooks can be listened to on a wide range of portable
devices, including portable music players, portable media centers, Pocket
PCs, and
even select smartphone devices. In order to be considered a device that
works with NetLibrary eAudiobooks, the only requirement is that the device
must
be able to support playback of secure or protected wma files.
NetLibrary eAudiobooks are provided in two sound qualities, CD (34 kbps) and
Radio (4 kbps) quality. Most devices do not support the playback of files
lower
than 32 kbps. When selecting a device you should make certain the device
supports playback of at least 32 kbps files. If you are going to transfer
and
listen to an eAudiobook on a device you should download the CD quality file.
To have an optimal experience when listening to a NetLibrary eAudiobook, it
is recommended that you select devices that support features such as
bookmarking
and full time stamping. Also, devices that have a storage capacity of 256 MB
at a minimum are recommended since the average CD quality eAudiobook file
size is 140 MB.
Devices that support bookmarking allow you to designate a place within a
file and return to that place. Some devices limit time tracking to a
pre-defined
period of time and often eAudiobooks files may be longer than the
pre-defined period in the device. In this case, the complete length of the
file will
not be shown in the device. Devices that support full time stamping do not
limit the time tracking of a file in any way and will allow the full length
of an eAudiobook file to display.".
