Eric, do you know this for sure? Is this what is happening now?
Just wondering if this is speculative or reality at the moment. Thanks and have a good night!

In order to read any books from the NLS, the app authenticates with the NLS servers. If they are shut down, so is your ability to read. THis is why I prefer the use of both my Braille Sense and my Victor Reader Stream. With these and a few ram sticks full of books, I can be set for just about any contingency. -eric On Sep 30, 2013, at 11:21 AM, Marianne Denning wrote: > -- > I did a little research and copied this information directly from the > home page of the Library of Congress.
