Sounds like a good enough idea to me. A lot of states don't have access to
overdrive audio, and why couldn't regular talkingbooks be put onto mp3 files
and downloaded to readers. Yes, I know that something like that is in the
wind, but a long time from now, and we still don't know for sure it will
work with the new bookport.
I'm probably wrong about this; since it seems so out of date; so tell me
where I've gone wrong.
