[gui-talk] reading bookshare.org books on the MLS playerthrough a flash drive

[Dean Martineau]

Exactly; works like a charm, depending of course on your Kurzweil version.
I do it with version 11, and version 123 has added some features for
transferring to portable devices.  You can use any voice Kurzweil can
recognize to generate the book.

Dean,

    If I am following you correctly, I can download bookshare.org books, run

them through K1000 to convert to daisy format, which is then readable by the

NLS player?

Thanks,

Patrikc
