An important note: Olearia, and for that matter no other software based player, can not play NLS books. THis is due to the NLS refusing to approve software players to have access to their encryption.

We are working with RFB&D to be able to ply their encrypted books and expect a solution to that soon.

If you are bothered by the NLS restriction on playback of their books I would urge you to contact your representatives in congress.

Which format are the DTBs from the NLS Digital program, and does this program play them? I normally play them on my Icon, but would play them on this machine if that were an option.


Thanks,


Dave
