> 
> Dear NFB-NEWSLINE Subscribers,
> 
> The NFB-NEWSLINE team is pleased to announce the introduction of a new feature for the telephone access method that will help subscribers streamline the reading of their favorite publications.  
> 
> This new mode is easy to navigate; you are able to quickly move from section to section without having to return to the list of sections and their corresponding option numbers, and you still retain the ability to swiftly move from article to article.
> 
> Ever find yourself reading The New York Times, Wall street Journal, Time Magazine, Vogue or one of the other 400 publications on NFB-NEWSLINE and wish you could hear all the sections one after another, without having to go back to the section list and listen to all the sections in order to select the correct number of your choice? Now you can press 99 at the section level of your favorite publication as soon as you hear all the sections listed with their associated option numbers, and you will be placed into the new Continuous Reading Mode.
> 
> What about those Sunday mornings when you are relaxing with your coffee and wish to read your USA Today all the way through? Using the Continuous Reading Mode you can hear every article in every section. With the easy navigation of Continuous Reading Mode, you can read an entire newspaper beginning to end, or skip any section that you are not interested in by simply pressing the * key.
> 
> While reading the Metro Section of The Washington Post, you can still move from article to article by a press of the 3 key as you have always done in the past. Need to have an article emailed to you for your personal use? Press the pound nine key combination and it is on its way to your in box.
> 
> Once you are finished using the Continuous Reading Mode and wish to exit, press the pound key followed by the * key and you are immediately returned to the section level of the publication that you are reading.
> 
> These new reading tools do not affect the existing tools you are accustomed to using. Pressing Pound 9 will still email articles to your email address in our system. Pressing 3 will still move you to the next article in a publication even while in Continuous Reading Mode.
> 
> For users of the "My Newspaper" feature that allows you to design your very own customized publication, we have also enabled the Continuous Reading Mode so you can quickly move through the content that you find to be of most value to you.
> 
> Summary of Continuous Reading Mode Tools:
> 
> 99 Turn on Continuous Reading Mode from the Section Level
> 
> *	Skip to next Section of the Publication while in Continuous Reading Mode
> 
> Pound*	Return to Section Level
> 
> We hope you enjoy this new reading feature of the NFB-NEWSLINE service, which was designed to provide you with more flexibility in your reading style and an opportunity to efficiently discover other sections in the publications that you read.
> 
> We would very much like to have your comments on this new Continuous Reading Mode. Please call us at (410) 505-5896 or email me at swhite at nfb.org to let us know what you think!
> 
> We wish you very Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year!
