  2. An update on the Dolphin EasyReader app not connecting to RNIB Reading Services. There may be a quicker way to do this, but I contacted Reading Services and arranged a password reset on my library password. I changed the password, then logged in to make sure it worked.
    Next, I uninstalled EasyReader, reinstalled, signed into my Dolphin account, then tried to connect to RNIB Reading services. After entering my new password, it connected no problem at all and Iโ€™ve been able to download some Talking Books as usual.
    If youโ€™re having problems with EasyReader, Iโ€™d suggest this method of fixing the issue.

  7. Is anyone else having problems with Dolphin EasyReader? When I try to connect to RNIB Reading Services, I get an error message saying it has used an incorrect username or password, with no option other than OK. According to RNIB, there was a problem but it has been fixed, and all I should do is log out, log in, restart phone, reinstall EasyReader and possibly turn in circles while waving one hand in the air. Over the past 24 hours, Iโ€™ve reinstalled the app 3 times and it still wonโ€™t connect. Itโ€™s getting beyond frustrating now.

    For #audiobooks , I choose Libro.fm because it supports my #local #indie #bookstore.

    That is, for books I can't get through the #LibraryOfCongress #TalkingBooks program.

    I also accept free trials from #audible and use those to grab exclusives.

    I tried Libby and it was confusing. It's been a minute, so maybe I should try again.

  17. Apple does not let you download the BARD app for talking books from the Library of Congress unless you have a credit card set up or are in good standing. This disenfranchises hundreds of #Veterans, #Disabled and #Blind individuals. It must be fixed immediately! #loc #tbs #talkingbooks
