Brian, Yes, my question is answered. Well, I guess all of us who use BNs will have to contact NLS and let them know we don't want the web braille service to be dropped. I can hardly believe they would actually drop it since they are working on a digital service for talking books. I thought we would eventually be able to download these books from the web, too.
