I don't know of anybody who can't already read NLS books on a player they don't already have available. The only issue, I repeat, is purely personal convenience...a device like the BP is easier to carry around than is a four-track cassette player and people are seemingly incapable of exerting that much effort. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tim Snyder Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 12:24 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: nls and current book port2 I still say that a person who really wanted to break the code could do so and make books available. I certainly do not want to break their code. Their severe protection is just making it hard on most people who simply want to read NLS books on the devices they already own. If RFB&D could make it kpossible for us to read books on the current bookport, then NLS could make it far less difficult. Of course, HumanWare stands to profit greatly from all of this proprietary stuff. I wonder how many decoding problems NLS has experienced anyway?
