I had to go to a meeting last night, fully intending on coming home and
downloading some books that I had found in the new listings.
Well I forgot to do that, so when I got up this morning I thought, well
that's that, I can't get those books.
But I was able to get them.
So I wonder did we get a reprieve or since it was yesterday's books is
that why I could get them. At any rate I am glad I was successful in
getting the ones I wanted.

This is a major reason why a single app on an iPhone (like BARD) is such a not
so nice idea. In order to read any books from the NLS, the app authenticates
with the NLS servers. If they are shut down, so is your ability to read. THis
is why I prefer the use of both my Braille Sense and my Victor Reader Stream.
With these and a few ram sticks full of books, I can be set for just about any
contingency.

I did a little research and copied this information directly from the
home page of the Library of Congress. If you have downloaded books
onto your IDevice you should be fine but if they are in your wish list
you probably won't be able to access them.
