[Dtb-talk] downloading books from RFBandD

[Greg Kearney]

There are two issues here. One is dowloading the books and the other  
is playback of the books.

I hope to have sofeware to do the downloading ready soon.

As for playback we plan to support playback of rfbd books in Olearia  
as a closed source plugin which they can distribute. They have  
provided the needed information to us to do this.
