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. Robin
