Okay, let me make a correction to my posts. The RFB&D key does not come via
e-mail, that is the NLS key. The RFB&D key comes on CD. I'll try to drink a
bit more tea before trying to answer more questions. <grin>

Kayla,
Maybe I didn't answer your question very well. Yes, all of RFB&D's books are
digital. They do have two ways of getting the books now. One is the Audio
Plus format, which is DAISY and has the best navigation capabilities. This
format is shipped to you on CD which you can then copy to your Stream.
The second option is the Web Download format. This format can be downloaded
from the server and comes in a WMP/Incripted format. You will need to listen
to these files on your computer with Windows Media Player version 10 or later,
or have a portable device that is capable of player the WMA, protected, and
increpted files. You'll have to be very careful when shopping for one os these
and read the documentation on the player well or you may end up with a player
that doesn't work. The Stream will not play the download format, but it
certainly will play the Audio Plus format, once you install the key they ship
to you.
Hope that helps.

I am already a member of the organization. My question refers to whether
the books are all available in a digital format.
Thanks,
Kayla
