No, the issue with the current BP is that NLS uses a different file-type. In order for the current Book Port to play NLS books, these files would have to be converted to MP3, which the Book Port understands. NLS does not want their files converted, so no dice with the current Book Port. If and when a Book Port II comes out, it may well support this file format.

don't be surprised if you see NLS support.  I personally wouldn't use it,
because I have it on the Braille Plus.  Wouldn't the key process be some
what confusing beings we don't have internet on the device?

Bookport will never be able to play these.  It stopped being
updated.

I recently received a message indicating both the Braille Plus

and Icon have

updates available to enable downloading of NLS books.  I'm glad

to see these

two units were added so shortly after the Victor Stream.  Has

anyone heard

if there are plans to add the Bookport any time soon?



Thank you.
