Why do Learning Ally audiobooks require authorized apps or devices for reading?
Answer: Learning Ally requires authorized playback applications or devices to comply with U.S. copyright law and to protect the intellectual property of the publishers whose works we make available in accessible format. U.S. Copyright law allows us to duplicate titles provided we offer them in specialized formats, and only to a qualified population. In our case, that population includes people with documented disabilities, such as a learning disability, visual impairment, or other physical disability.
