BARD Mobile vs Our Book Nook

CARRY A LIBRARY IN YOUR POCKET Access tens of thousands of books—from current best sellers to much-loved classics, popular magazines, and music instruction and scores—in audio and electronic braille, with new selections added daily. WHO IS ELIGIBLE? BARD Mobile is a service of NLS. NLS provides free audio and braille reading materials to residents of the US and American citizens living abroad who cannot read regular print. If you are blind or have temporary or permanent low vision or a physical or reading disability that prevents you from holding or reading the printed page, you may be eligible for this program. For more information, visit https://www.loc.gov/nls/about/eligibility-for-nls-services. HOW DO I GET STARTED?

To enroll, call 1-888-NLS-READ (1-888-657-7323) and follow the prompts to find your state. Or to learn more at https://www.loc.gov/thatallmayread.

Your books. Your notes. Your people. Our Book Nook brings your reading life together: the books you're reading, the words you want to keep, and the people you want to share them with. MAKE YOURSELF A READING NOOK Keep your current reads, next reads, and finished books in one place. Mark your progress by chapter or page and return to the book you're spending time with. KEEP WHAT STAYS WITH YOU Write a note, save a passage, or speak an idea before it slips away. Your Journal gathers your notes by book, so you can return to a question, a favorite line, or a connection you made. GIVE YOUR KINDLE HIGHLIGHTS A SECOND LIFE Choose books to sync from Amazon, then add your own thoughts beside your highlights. The original passage and note from Kindle stay separate from what you write in Our Book Nook. Sync runs when you choose it; available highlights depend on what Amazon provides. SEND SOMETHING WORTH TALKING ABOUT Share a note directly with a friend, recommend a book, or bring a question to your club. Clear sharing choices let you decide what stays private and what you share. MAKE ROOM FOR YOUR BOOK CLUB Keep your club's books, notes, and conversations together. Plan a gathering and return to the ideas your reading brought out, even after you've finished the book. Read on paper or on your Kindle. Keep the reading life around it in Our Book Nook. Members can report content, block people, leave a club, and delete their account in the app.
