Curt Cylke said publicly at the ACB convention that NLS would be expanding the download beta pilot to any interested person next month provided they got their own machine, were NLS patrons, knew how to download and unzip material, etc. I was surprised but I have his speech and he sure did say it.

I suspect that would be the way to use the Stream to read NLS books. The NLS says all their books will be fully available for download by the end of this year, but the word is they will all come on line in August. Michael Hingson,
