Hi Dar. At this point, I think downloading books into my Iphone would only
take up all my memory. I have a Victor Stream and so I think I should use
that. My friend and I were trying to get book share up and running on my
laptop so I could download books from there into my Victor but we need to
work on it some more, we weren't able to figure it out before. If you can
download books from bard into a victor stream, that would probably be easier
for me since I already have an account on bard. This is what I hope Ted may
be able to help me do. I always have Randi download books from bard for me
but it sounds like maybe Ted can show me how to do it. I'm assuming Bard is
the NLS site. I think that is the site Randi has been downloading books
from for my little digital player and if that site will also give me books
that will work in my victor, all the better. I mostly need to figure out
how to use it myself so I'm not dependant on Randi to do it for me all the
time. I can't use a mouse and I don't know how to use the keyboard for
those sorts of things.

On the I phone you need to down load what is called book share, if you get
books from there, Or Bard if you get books from nls.
Then you go into the app to down load any book you wish to read.
I truly don't know if Ted can down load books to his phone as we can with
the I products.
Hope this helps.
If you have a home phone, give us a call, we would be glad to help you down
load those two apps so you can get books.
