Christopher that is my point. I don't want to have to use a different player.

I don't think this means that the need for a stand alone player will go away though. I think the NLS will always want to serve citizens who don't have a smart phone, don't want one or don't want a particular brand and model of smart phone. You're also not tied into just using the stand alone player provided by the NLS. They have arrangements made with several manufacturers of different devices to support NLS books, such as the Booksense from HIMS.
