I don't disagree. You could get around using a third device though by
just having the two devices hand shake with one another over NFC,
bluetooth or wifi. It also wasn't that long ago that we had to resort to
iTunes on a PC or Mac to do a lot with our iPhones, and I still need a
PC or SD card / NLS cartridge to get my books on my Booksense or my NLS
player.

Hi,
Wouldn't that kinda ruin the experience? I mean, the act of having a 3rd
medium I had to physically interact with, SD card, computer, etc, would make
the syncing process not worth it. Of course, this is just my own personal take
on it. Others might find such an arrangement to their liking.
But, the thing that makes syncing with Kinlde or iBooks work is, you don't have
to do anything on your end but make sure your signed in.

There are lots of ways this could be done without an internet connection. You
could pass some media between the devices, like an SD card, you could use your
PC as a sync point between your devices or the devices could sync with one
another through NFC, bluetooth or wifi.

Excuse me, unless you connect your devices to some sort of central managing
database, there is no way to synchronise one's reading location mark across
devices. Amazon does it by having all devices connect to their servers and
update reading location marks, highlight marks, comments, and so forth, with
the database that also keeps track of which books one has purchased. It isn't
complicated so long as the infrastructure is set-up for it. Setting up the
infrastructure from scratch, on the other hand, is a real nightmare.

Hi,
This would require whatever device you use at home have an internet connection.
I don't own a stream or, any other type of blind centric reader except the
actual NLS player so, do these devices often have the ability to connect to the
internet?

I think it's a fair question though. Not everybody who gets NLS Talking Books
has a smart phone and they would like to have some sense of how popular it
would be. Personally, I'd just like to have the option. Now if there were a
way in which you could start reading an NLS book on your iPhone, get home and
pickup where you left off on your reading device. They keep saying more
features will be added to the Victor Reader Stream 2. Be cool if they could
manage that.

Similarly, I just signed on to NLS BARD and encountered the same two
questions.

When I logged onto my library's bard site today, there was a survey question
about whether I would use the app, if it were available, and which version, IOS
or Android, I would use. I post this, in hopes that it is a national survey,
not just from my library. If you tend not to log onto bard often, log onto it
and, if the question is there, hopefully answer it yes.
