Hi Maria;
Thank you very much for this great information. I have played around with
the buttons and didn't find anything on using Book Shelf. I do have 2
books
downloaded onto a cartridge and your info will help very much. Thanks
again, take care.
Mike

The bookshelf is available if you have downloaded more than one book on a
cartridge.
To access the bookshelf after inserting the cartridge and turning on
player:
Hold play/pause button for a few seconds till you hear bookshelf.
You can then use your forward or rewind arrows to move between books.
Hit play on a book to start reading.
Your place will be saved on each book.
Neat.

Hi Rick & Septh:
I just put my Kingston data traveler into the cartridge slot and it plays
fine, use book shelf to go from one book to another. You have to play
aroung
with the thumb drive at first untill you find just where it slips into
the
plug, it is about the center of the cartridge opening, after a couple of
times it is no problem.

Hi Seth,
Using the USB port on the side of the player, is fine, except,
being that the player is portable, it's very easy to damage the thumb
drive
when moving the player around.
The blank cartridge, goes into the slot in the front of the player just
as
the digital book cartridges do,
and while they do not have the storage capacity of most flash drives,
they are better protected from damage by the player itself.
It is very simple to transfer files from the computer to the cartridge.
HTH,
Rick Justice

So let me get this painfully straight. You can download to a thumb
drive and then play the downloaded file on the NLS player by putting
the thumb drive in the USB slot of the player? If that is true, then
why would anyone purchase a special purpose cartridge when you can get
a thumb drive these days for next to nothing and use it for all kinds
of other things ? Has anyone actually done that successfully?

Why don't you download BARD materials to a thumb drive or blank
cartridge? Then you don't have to wait for snail mail.

I just don't understand why they had to make the cards incompatible

Hi
I was wondering if there is any software that can play
the digital books from the National Library Service (NLS)?
It seems like the only thing I can find to play the books is
a $350 portable player. I would be just as happy if I could
play them on my computer.
God bless,
Mark
