Hi Cheryl,
Should be yes, as long as NLS is following the DAISY 3 standard (or
some variation thereof)...but I should note we don't know yet what
(if anything) they'll be doing for Digital Rights Management (DRM)
i.e. encryption/protection of copyrighted content. I assume (hope)
there will be opportunities for developers to test content (and build
in support for any protection scheme [as we did for RFBD]) before
they make it available to the public. I like Bookshare's model.
Unpack happens outside of the player so no extra hoops to jump
through from the player development (or end user) end of things. Very
nice.

When people using the NLS library service in the United States go
fully to digital books instead of analog casettes, will these be
readable by the same modifications being made to katieplayer to
handle daisy3 and bookshare books, or is this going to be another
separate issue?
