Susie, I don’t think you quite understand. Anybody on the planet can download the BardMobile app, but only if you are a registered user can you log in and download bard books. NLS has the authority, and the ability, to authorize other players as they have done for the hardware devices like the Victor Streams and Plextalks. Again, anyone on the planet can buy those devices but unless they have a registered account with NLS, they cannot access NLS books.
Yes, it is a copyright issue, but the authorization to play copywritten material is controlled by NLS and it is extra secure because you also have to have a registered account which means a doctor or rehabilitation agency have certified that you have a print disability. I don’t even know if Winston would want to go down that path of becoming an authorized player. The BardMobile app is perfect for my uses. This all began because someone asked how to play BARD books with Voice Dream Reader and has received the answer but it has spiraled into this discussion. I think we can wrap this one up.

In order to download the BARD app, you have to be a registered patron of thee NLS library system, which means you qualify for books in a specialized format. Otherwise, potentially, anybody with an iPhone and Voice Dream Reader could get all these free audiobooks.

Voice Dream Reader cannot read protected content. Maybe one day. Perhaps we should all write to NLS requesting they make Voice Dream Reader an authorized player, though the BARDMobile app is great and free.
