Hi Jonathan, The US version is the same hardware. The main difference in firmware is that the Linio in the US does not support Braille format and the Daisy Online Demand Protocol is not functional as there are no US content providers implementing the technology. The unit does support NLS and Learning Ally.

If not, what different firmware does it use, if any? Will it work with NLS BARD books?
