Cathy;
What can the machine do?  Can it play a cd?  Do you still have to download?  If so, then why can't you play it on the NLS player.  
Have a lot to learn about this topic.

Hello all,

Oh I just had to share this with everyone!

 

For my birthday next month my husband is giving me a Plextalk pocket portable player from Freedom Scientific and a subscription to bookshare!

I was browsing around on bookshare this afternoon and there are quite a few books on knitting with looms, knitting with needles, and crocheting. I couldn't find anything on beading straight away, but I probably just need to adjust my search terms. I will be able to make so many things now and probably teach a class in something I have learned to make in one or more of these books. I have an NLS player, but this has limited me to the Bard site.
Now with my subscription and the new Plextalk player I will be able to take my books and patterns everywhere with me, just like you folks who have those smart phones.

 

Thank you to Karen and to the others of you who recommended bookshare as a resource for craft learning. 

So anyhow, just all excited and wanted to share!

 

Cathy
