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

- 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."
