[Dtb-talk] NLS Digital Happenings Speech

[David Andrews]

Dan:  without violating a nondisclosure agreement, I will say that there should be at least one player, that will work with downloaded books and magazines, available later this year.  There are probably others in development that I haven't heard of too.  So, others, if they are willing to buy a machine will also be able to get in on the fun.
