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.
Andy From: Alan Lemly Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 8:29 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: 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.

I have students who download a lot of BARD books and I'm continually amazed at how quickly they can fill up an 8 or 16-gig SD card. Also, I would expect that you'd need a good strong wi-fi connection for downloading.

I so hope it's in a timely manner. :) Courtney Sent from my iMac On Feb 27, 2013, at 9:55 PM, Kevin Barry <krba...@gmail.com> wrote: On the Blind Access Journal there is an interview with Judy Dixon who represents the NLS. She demonstrated an early version of the forthcoming IOS app for BARD. This is of great interest to those of us in the U.S. The app seems very promising. Direct download from the site, i.e no iTunes, good control of playback speed, level navigation and more. Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
