[Dtb-talk] NLS Digital Happenings Speech

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Dan and listers,

    Are they going to develop a software player for those who don't have the
NLS player when it's made available? It only makes sense to me for them to
do so.

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.
Dan F
