Re: BARD app coming
Hi all, In anticipation of the upcoming BARD app, I wanted to test the website to see if it was navigable on my iPhone's small screen. I am pleased to report that I could browse, search and add books to my wish list successfully. I also read the Talking Book Topics on the website from my iPhone. Chuck PS. Once I opened the BARD homepage in Safari, I double tapped the utilities button and added it to the home screen.

So as the explanation indicated you’d either add a book to your wish list from your computer and then could download it seamlessly to your device from within the app or you could access the recently added section of the bard site from within the mobile app itself and download from there. That is my understanding of how the process would work as they are trying to avoid the use of iTunes entirely. I hope I’ve stated this correctly and haven’t muddied the waters further.

RE: BARD app coming
Tom, since the iDevices don't have external storage capability, I imagine users will have to manage the available storage built into their device. A BARD book takes about 10.4MB per hour of recorded audio so a 10-hour book takes 104MB of space. If you load up your device with a lot of books, your space will run out. I suspect the app will work in such a way that letting the NLS store the books and the users grab them when they need them will be how most folks will manage this. With more and more things moving to the cloud, the days of downloading everything to your local PC or to an external memory device are numbered.

Re: BARD app coming
Well, I read BARD books on my Victor Reader Stream, and do not store all of my books on the device. I would suspect that you could use iTunes to transfer surplus books to your PC, or you could use iCloud. You will likely have to pay a little for the latter.

Re: BARD app coming
Hi, It is my understanding from listening to the referenced podcast that books can be downloaded directly to your mobile device from the recently added content sections of the bard site as well as from your wish list. So as the explanation indicated you’d either add a book to your wish list from your computer and then could download it seamlessly to your device from within the app or you could access the recently added section of the bard site from within the mobile app itself and download from there. That is my understanding of how the process would work as they are trying to avoid the use of iTunes entirely. I hope I’ve stated this correctly and haven’t muddied the waters further.

RE: BARD app coming
The one feature I am hoping is included is faster playback than the current 3x speed. 3x is nice, but I still find myself going back to my nls player for audiobooks just because of the increased rate of available playback speed. I wrote the Downcast dev once about this and he said that he'd be willing to look at offering faster playback options, but that he was limited by Apple as they only allowed the playback to max out at that rate. So who knows if even the NLS folks would be able to enhance it on their end. I guess we'll just have to see. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ricardo Walker Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 6:23 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: BARD app coming Hi, I doubt anyone can answer that question since the app won't be available until the summer.

Re: BARD app coming
She said that in this current interview as well. She also said that you could download books from the recent books list as well. This isn't currently working in the alpha, so I'm assuming they're getting books to the iPhone via iTunes, and I'm assuming this option will still be available in the future. Right now, I'm downloading books to my PC and them copying to my blank NLS cartridge and the memory card I use in my Booksense. Even if I can download books directly to my iPhone, I can see where I may still want to download them to my PC so I could use iTunes and my file manager to copy the books to multiple devices.
