I am friends with a NLS librarian, and the app has indeed been submitted for approval. Hth Hope Paulos

This thread has nothing to do with the bar app anymore, but it's about batteries and wordwrap. Also, from what I just heard, the BART app is still in beta and has not been submitted for approval.

I have a lot of those in my collection, and the BookSense is the only thing that I know can play them. Well, the only thing that I have, at any rate. Plus, having physical buttons is rather nice. When I want to go back five seconds in a book, and I'm kind of sleepy, the last thing I want to do is fiddle around with a touchscreen. That being said, I will still get the app; but I'll keep my BookSense around, too. >> >> >> Thanks, >> Ari >> >>> On Sep 13, 2013, at 1:21 PM, Christopher Chaltain <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> I'm really looking forward to the BARD Mobile app, but I also like having a separate device. In addition to what Eric says below about the battery consumption, I also like just being able to pick up my Booksense, and by pressing just one button, start reading a book right where I left off. No need to unlock the device, jump to the app switcher and bring up my BARD Mobile app to start reading again. The fact that it's a physical button, and I can just pause/play my reading by hitting a physical button while the Booksense is in my pocket, is also a plus. I know it's not that hard to get the BARD Mobile app to start reading again, but it is convenient to have a device dedicated to my book reading and being only one button away from reading. >>> >>> I also think the booksense is a bit lighter and easier to carry around. I can operate it's buttons while it's in my pocket. I also have a lanyard, so I can just hang it from my neck. >>> >>> Would I go out and buy a Booksense if I already had an iPhone and the BARD Mobile app? I'm not sure, but I do know that I'll be using both my iPhone and my Booksense to read BARD books once I get my hands on the BARD Mobile app. >>> >>>> On 09/13/2013 02:57 PM, eric oyen wrote: >>>> there are advantages to using a separate device. >>>> Chief among these is battery life on the iPhone. Playing media sucks down battery like an old drunk on a bender. Its the same with other apps that have discrete devices (trekker breeze, color detector and barcode reader). all of these devices are specially designed for that one task. Its been my experience that iPhone apps are fine in a pinch, but when you want reliability without sacrificing battery life, its better to have the extra devices on hand. >>>> >>>> Sure, its convenient to have all your functions and technology in one device, but it that device breaks, you are out a whole lot more than just a phone. >>>> >>>> Just something to keep in mind. >>>> >>>> -eric >>>> >>>>> On Sep 13, 2013, at 12:47 PM, Rick Alfaro wrote: >>>>> >>>>> Yes, it's the official app from NLS so we can read books >>>>> downloaded from BARD on our iDevices.
