NLS doesn't allow books to be read on any personal computer, be they Mac or PC. There are players available, these are small portable expensive devices that will allow you to play music, books from RFB&D, and books from Audible as well as Bookshare.org. And, of course, books from NLS. They ar:Victor Reader Stream from HumanWare, $359, Booksense from Hims (distributed in US by GWMicro) $359, PlexTalk Pocket, I believe it is sold by IRTI $349, And the newest player, Bookport Plus from APH. $299. The Bookport Plus and the Plextalk Pocket are exactly the same hardware wise, but APH has tweeked the firmware and created a transfer software tool. All of these devices require HCSD or SD cards for storage. Currently the limit for storage is 32 Gigs.
