Hi.

No, you don't, because the icon and braille plus are devices on which the books 
can be played. 
I got my password reset a few days ago. It's amazing stuff.

All you need is a membership with NLS. You don't even need a tape player, if 
you're receiving the books in braille, I think they count it as being a member. 
The reason they ask 
for the address and phone number is because they need to compare it to the ones 
in their database, to make 
sure you are a member and not just faking it.

So if you have a braille plus, APH. Or an icon, Level Star. You're good to go, 
and 
it's free.
