[Blindtlk] Victor Reader Stream Question...

[David Andrews]

No, you can't do it via phone.  Go to the BARD site and log in.  From 
the main page choose the update my account link.  From there you will 
find a link to "register a purchased player."  You fill out the form 
there, on-line form, and submit it.  They then check with your 
library to make sure you are registered, and in good standing.  They 
will then send your player's maker an e-mail authorizing them to 
issue you a NLS key.  You will get e-mail from the player company, 
fill out something there, and get key via e-mail.

At least that is what I am remembering of the process -- it is 
something like that.  There is a FAQ on  the main page too.
