Will you be able to select and download books directly through your device,
or will it be like the kindle and Nook apps where you have to do the actual
selection on a PC and go back to your device to have it transferred to your
device?

Subject: Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I love listening to books on my iPhone. I have been using an app called
Audio Book and Podcast Player to listen to mp3 books with no problems. I
think the Bard app will be similar. The nice part is that when using wired
earphones (which I do all the time) you can stop and start the books with
the switch in the earphone wire. Since this is an Apple feature for "music"
apps I would be shocked if it did not work with the BARD app. So you should
be able to use a physical button to stop and start.
I play books most of the time and have no battery problems from it. Only
battery problems are from GPS type apps.
I would explain how to put books on the phone with iTunes but it won't be
necessary after the BARD app is here.
At night I do use my BARD player or my Victor since it is much easier and
has the sleep feature. But I have traveled with only the iPhone and used it
at night as well.
The BARD app is the reason I got my iPhone in the first place and I got a 64
G to be ready. I am sooooooo ready!!!

That's a very good point. One can do it but but not as easy and as straight
forward as it should be.
I'm thinking about the possibility of using DownCast for mp3 audio books but
haven't tried it yet.

I still haven't found an easy way to put audio books on the IPhone which are
not Audible books. So without this, I still need my BookSense.

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.

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.

Yes, it's the official app from NLS so we can read books downloaded
from BARD on our iDevices. Between this app, the Kindle app, the
Nook app, and Voice Dream Reader or Read2Go for BookShare books,
it's hard to imagine why one would need devices like the Stream or
BookSense but I'm sure some may still prefer using a separate
device. This is my plan so I will be upgrading to the 64gb version
of the 5s so I have no issues with space.

I haven't been following this thread. Is this an app which will let
you listen to NLS talking books on an iPhone for example?

How do you know this? If this is true then that is great news
because I know that there are a lot of blind people who have been
waiting a very log
time for it.
