Re: possible LOC shutdown
When Bard went down yesterday, I had 3 books cued for download. One book was in progress and that download finished. The other two never started. My Bard app is showing them as cued for download. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now! Move out. Get a job.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
All the books I've downloaded using the bard app still play fine. Any books obtained through other means probably aren't going to work. I have 2 audio books still cued for download. Braille books synced via the bard app I'm told aren't playing. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now! Move out. Get a job.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
thats just it. I don't know.

RE: possible LOC shutdown
Hi, Late yesterday, I got an E-mail from the Tennessee Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, saying that, in the event of a government shutdown, NLS operations would be suspended and the BARD site would become unavailable as of 12:00pm, Eastern Time, today.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
Hi Alia, With all due respect, and I'm not trying to defend Mich's statements, but the fact is, if you're discussing the Bard app, then discuss the Bard app. From what I've seen, this thread has gone from the site shutting down, to the state of your federal government to the state of people's views on said government. This is an iPhone list, not a general discussion list, so if you're going to talk about the Bard app, then do so, but don't start off a new thread to discuss the LOC or NLS and decide that simply because there's a Bard app that this sort of discussion makes it on-topic for the list. I'm sorry, but this isn't solely an American list, and yes, the delete key has been working overtime, but why should I have to go through batteries on my wireless keyboard simply because people are getting overzealous about the government shut down? Like I said, we may care about our American friends, but we don't care about their daily lives, especially when it pertains to politics, as that is just one huge powder keg.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
I've seen questions on list from Canadians asking about weather apps that work in Canada and from UK members about SIM cards for their carriers and so on. I don't think we should restrict the list to just those topics that pertain to absolutely everyone. There were only a few messages on strictly political issues, and the list owner already asked those to be discontinued, so I think that's it's own issue that's already been addressed. Quite a few of the questions revolved around whether we'd still be able to download, transfer and listen to books with the BARD app after the government shutdown, so I think they're also on topic for the list. I am sure there were some messages that talked strictly about whether there was going to be a shutdown or not, and I'd agree those messages were technically off topic, but I for one like how the list is moderated. Too much moderation can be just as detrimental to a list as not enough.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
Hi, I think you are confusing downloading and reading what's already there. With the BARD app you can read what is already downloaded just as if you had copied the books onto an SD card and used a BookSense or Victor Stream. Now, due to the shut down, getting new material is what is prevented. Apples and Oranges here. This is because when the books are downloaded to the BARD app, they are living in your device, not in the cloud. You are listening to content already present, not being streamed. I hope that helps. -- Raul A.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
This is what I thought as well, but people are reporting that books they've moved over to their iPhone, using iTunes or some other file sharing system, won't play in BARD at the moment. It seems that if you download the book in BARD, which you can't do right now, then it's authorized to be played in BARD, but if you get it there some other way, BARD needs to check your authorization before it'll allow you to play it. I haven't tested this myself yet, but this is what's been reported by others. On 10/01/2013 02:45 PM, Raul A.

With the BARD app you can read what is already downloaded just as if you had copied the books onto an SD card and used a BookSense or Victor Stream. Now, due to the shut down, getting new material is what is prevented. Apples and Oranges here. This is because when the books are downloaded to the BARD app, they are living in your device, not in the cloud. You are listening to content already present, not being streamed. I hope that helps. -- Raul A.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
Hi, Its hard to say it was for nothing. I mean, NLS did issue the statement. It’s not like some blind person just made it all up. lol. Now, I didn’t treat it like the sky was falling, and I now needed to download the entire catalog but, I think the warning, and expectation of no service was valid. JMO.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
and I did grab a few extra books on Monday, both to my iPhone and my PC, to make sure I have enough books to get me through the shutdown. I for one, did appreciate the heads up.

Re: possible LOC shutdown
So, do you think sighted people never buy books that they want to read later?

The only difference is in whether you want to fill 32 gigs of books on your phone or on the VRS' SDHC card.
