Joseph,
I too downloaded lots of books and kept them on my VR Stream so I could go
from book to book without having to always be downloading them on my
computer.
But with the BARD app, with the wish list, there is no need of downloading
but only what you are currently reading or listening too.
My plan is adding books to my wish list as I come across them on the BARD
site, and only downloading them to my device when I am ready to read them.
This makes sure any future books are waiting for me on my wish list, and not
taking up valuable space on my device!
For example, I only downloaded two books today, the book I am currently
reading, and the book I plan on starting once I am done this one.
Again, being able to browse the BARD site from directly in the app, and add
books to my wish list is an awesome thing!
No computer needed, no SD cards needed, thank you BARD!!

Chris, I too agree with your sentiments. In an effort to prevent the
purchase of a bigger iDevice, I promised, absolutely promised myself I would
not download any more than 5 books at a time. <Smile>. It can be very
tempting to have a library of books on one's device, but many times those
books are not read as often as one would like, and many of these books are
several hundred megs in size since they are audio after all. By limiting
myself to just a very few books, I will insure that I completely finish the
books before downloading another as well as not clogging up the NLS
bandwidth. I learned from my mistake with my Victor reader (VRS) where I
Purchased the biggest SSD card I could find and quickly discovered I didn't
have the time to download and read as much as I would have hoped or had the
time to do. In short, the storage space on IOS devices is precious so I'm
not going to use up that storage for tons of books I probably won't read for
more than a chapter or two.

I absolutely love the app!! I think the library did an awesome job, and you
can tell they put a lot of thought into it!
And just as mentioned previously, you are able to browse the BARD site right
from within the app itself!
In the Get Books tab, just flick to browse and double tap. You will be put
right on the Main page of the BARD site!
You can then search for whatever book or magazine you would like.
True, you can not download books while browsing, but just add them to your
wish list while browsing, then when you are done, just go to your wish list
and download whatever book you want.
I do hope they introduce control gestures for playback in the future
releases, but for the first release, totally awesome job!!
I do plan on contacting BARD and just saying thank you for the app, and
letting them know the great job they did.
Sometimes I think we should just take a moment and show our appreciation for
all of the time and effort that was put into something. We can always find
improvements that might be made, but a simple thank you and great job should
never be forgotten!
My hat is off to NLS for a job well done!
