I believe he is based on the subject line. However, the question is somewhat artificial. NLS will have its digital audio books available next year and folks likely want a machine that can access them as well as RFB books. Unfortunately, NLS uses DAISY version 3.0 while RFB uses DAISY 2.2. The difference being is that with version 2.2 players had to be initialized and authorized to play DAISY books wile with version 3.0 the books are unlocked when they are shipped to the end user, similar to today's analog system where an end user's device needs to be individually authorized. the book Port and perhaps the older victor Readers may not be able to play the NLS books. Humanware has already introduced a next generation player and a next generation Book Port is expected within the next six months or so. the new book Port will play DAISY 3.0 books from NLS.
