Two additional devices can now be used to read downloadable audio

materials from NLS:

- The LevelStar Icon is a portable device for the visually impaired that

gives you access to all of your contacts, documents, and media on the

go.  Icon, with its 40 GB hard drive, can store thousands of documents

and audio files.   Icon users are now able to download NLS books

directly using the Icon's powerful web browser and its wireless

connection, and play and navigate them using Icon's Bookshelf.

To learn

more about the Icon and its support for NLS content, please visit

www.levelstar.com
, or call 1-800-315-2305, or send email to

info at levelstar.com .

- American Printing House for the Blind, Inc.'s Braille Plus Mobile

Manager is a hand held, accessible tool that combines entertainment and

productivity into one device small enough to easily fit into a pocket or

purse.  With its large hard drive, the Braille Plus stores dozens of

books at a time, and with its built-in web browser, the user can

download and read any of the NLS DTB collection without having to use a

computer at all.  For complete information about the Braille Plus,

please see
www.aph.org/tech/pda_info.htm .

Current owners of these devices are just a free software upgrade away

from adding the ability to download and read NLS talking books and

magazines.

Remember, to authorize any new device for download, just go to the

download site's home page, choose "Update my settings," and then choose

"Add a new player."
