Hi Cindy,
When you buy one of their players you have to enter your id number every
time you turn it on! I would hate to think they would do that if
Braillenote supported their format for books! If I had realized it I
probably would not have made the purchase!

A few people to my knowledge have made their concerns known on the NFB
Student listserv. We buy expensive equipment and then have to send it
to them trusting that they will not damage it and also preventing us
from using our device while it is with them.

The fact is that Freedom Scientific got approval for use of RFB&D books
with
the FS reader software for either the PC or the Pocket version I can't
remember which but not for the other version. So here are two versions
of
the same software, one for the PC and one for the PacMate and only one
is
approved.
I really think it is time for blind consumers to raise very loud
objections
to this silly and annoying practice by RFB&D. They are to my knowledge
the
only producer of books that does this.

Here is what I find a bit interesting. Of course, the fact that I don't
understand this is likely why I'd never make it as an attorney.
Visuaide which as we all know is now part of HumanWare has had an
agreement
with RFB&D for quite some time. Yet, the same company has to work out a
separate agreement with the same non profit organization simply to use a
new
device. Again, attorneys somewhere are doing ok in this world, when in
fact
logic would dictate that this agreement should be a relatively simple
thing
to put in place; considering that HumanWare already has an agreement
with
RFB&D, but it's for a different device.
Makes me want to find a law school!

Interesting! I've heard conflicting accounts so I'll keep checking on
this.

In order to play RFB and D digital titles on your BrailleNote,
with whatever version of KeySoft supports this, you would need to
first install the fudge to your DAISY playback software that
senses you have an RFB and D book in the unit and requests the
pass code.
So no, if you know the pass code, you won't be able to play your
RFB and D books on your BrailleNote running KeySoft 7.2.
Interesting all readers have the same pass code.
This code and the definite non-provision of the software fudge to
foreigners is how RFB and D can assure U.S. publishers their
books are only being read by eligible Americans!
