This seemed strange to me too, but I'm guessing they're guarding against the situation where someone could download the BARD Mobile app and then get some books from someone or some source other than BARD and then play them without ever being BARD patrons. It seems a bit much to me but maybe they're throwing a bone to the publishers to ensure them that BARD books won't survive in the wild.

Thanks for that information.  Maybe I just got a couple of bad downloads
since I had to download them a second time after the site was working again.
I really couldn't see what would be the point of delaying validation till
you actually opened the book.  After all that should happen before allowing
the user to make use of the download resources.

I had no trouble with the BARD books on my phone even during the shutdown,
they all four opened, I could play them and two had never been opened
before, just downloaded through the app.

Hi Russ.  I think it is activated the first time you open it after it is
downloaded.  When we had the government shut down, I had two books which I
had put on my IPhone but not opened when I tried to read them when the web
site was down, I got a book not authorized message.  When they brought the
site back up I was able to open them but had to redownload them to make it
work.

The book is activated when it is downloaded.

My understanding is that a book needs to be activated the first time you
open it. As long as you have already opened the book once, and it was
activated that first time, you should be fine. I could be wrong, and I have
not been following this thread closely so I may be repeating someone else's
comments, but there you go in any case.

Hi Susan.

It doesn't matter what player you have for the NLS, you will be able
