They did say special software, but they are talking about a Digital
Talking Book reader.

Hi Larry,
I did listen to that podcast, but I believe it said that a special
format
was going to be used, or that you would have to have special software.
Perhaps I misunderstood, however.

According to a meeting I attended, they will be making the books
available
for download. Check out the "Everything Digital with NLS"
podcast at www.aph.org/tech/bct.htm

Jim,
I know the target for the whole digital program is 2008. It seems
painfully
slow to me too but, as you said, they have their reasons.
Perhaps the biggest one is that most of their clientele is not
technically
savvy and needs something fool-proof. However, I wouldn't be
surprised if
they were to make the downloads available before the memory cards and
players are here and the BP stands at the ready. Lou

Just putting in my 2 cents. I would love to download and read NLS
books on
my Book Port. Since moving to the Book Port, I no longer like messing
with
tapes. We can only hope the NLS makes some progress. It seems to be
taking a
long time. I'm sure that there are budget constraints.

As I understand it, the NLS books will be downloadable as well as
on a
special flash card so, I would imagine the downloadable books
should
work in
the BP. Lou
