[Dtb-talk] NLS Digital Happenings Speech

[DanFlasar at aol.com]

The download project will not be usable by most patrons because you won't  be 
able to play the downloaded books until you get a player.     As I currently 
understand it - there will be 200 players available for home  testing sometime 
early in 2008.  By the end of that year, there will be  5000 production 
players sent to the various libraries (avg 100/library).   These will be 
distributed according to the state library affiliate.
     The digital download site is already up and  running for the pilot 
program (we have modified Victor Readers) but it won't be  useful until you can 
play the books.
       I hope this helps.
