As a Canadian I usually don’t read threads about BARD, but while the CNIB library may not have all the newest books, they nonetheless do have a lot of good reads or listens and the Direct to Player app actually works pretty good. You log in to the CNIB Digital Library, find a boolk you want to listen to (you can do this on a computer or with Safari on the iPhone) and then tell it to use Direct to Player instead of downloading it, then you open the Direct to Player iOS app and you can stream or download the book.

Apples and Oranges. BARD was created by the U.S. government for U.S. citizens. If those in Canada what something similar, they should talk to CNIB or other Canadian government agencies. Now back to talking about Apple and its products (Smile).

We didn't have iTunes Radio until Apple Music, we still don't have Apple Pay which is one of the reasons why I'm not jumping for joy about the iPhone 6 series, and now we don't get Apple News. I've kinda gotten used to us getting things last or not getting them at all, and I guess that's kinda a pathetic way of looking at things, but hey, that's Apple for you. But I'm not gonna go back to a PC or switch to Android because of a little thing like that because bottom line is Apple is the best in terms of accessibility. I would reach out to Apple via social media about the unfair advantage but 1, Apple doesn't have a Twitter account and 2, I doubt that if we complain to Tim Cook about it through his Twitter feed that he'd listen to us.

IOS 9 got launched and one of the biggest features that was being touted was the News app. I am sad to report that this app (which should not cost anything extra to Apple or have any other legal issues) is not available in India. I was looking forward to it. I am sure India is also one of the markets that Apple is viewing as its primary market and neither Apple maps nor apps like the News apps are made available to Indian consumers. Having said this, it is to be remembered that Apple does not charge nothing less than the global price of Iphone or Ipad from its Indian consumers. I feel that this is an important issue and should be conveyed to Apple through its website as well as social media.
