[Dtb-talk] Using BARD Mobile to Play APH Magazines

[Mike Freeman]

All I know (and this has been confirmed by Danielle Miller of the Washington
Talking Book and Braille Library (WTBBL), the regional library for
Washington State, is that WTBBL-produced books which *do* play on NLS
cartridges will *not* play with the iPhone app.

Lloyd Rasmussen: please clear this up so we don't argue for weeks!

I am here in the US doing this on a US based network on a device purchased
in the US. You can try this yourself buy downloading the book I mentioned.

that BARD Mobile will not play DAISY books unless they've been downloaded
from BARD. I acknowledge that this is not your experience, Greg, and I'm
sure Lloyd will chime in tomorrow with the explanation but I tell you that
the app won't play other than BARD books for us here in the U.S.
