Dear Victor Reader Stream Friends:
Overdrive (
http://www.overdrive.com ), the popular service that provides
recorded audio books that can be downloaded from many public
libraries, has recently began offering some audio books in MP3
format. We have been receiving queries about whether these new MP3
books can be played on the Stream. The answer is yes. You may
download them to a sub folder within the Other Books bookshelf of
the Stream.
Author and technology reviewer, Anna Dresner who wrote the popular
NBP book, "A Pocketful of Sound" has published an article on her
blog about Overdrive's new MP3 books and how to play them on your
Stream. The article can be found at:
http://nbpupdates.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/new-developments-in-reading-commercial-ebooks/ The Pocketful of Sound book which is a comprehensive review of
portable media players including the Stream can be obtained from
National Braille Press. For more information visit:
