Patricia, what is hw? And where oh where is there an absolutely comprehensive set of fail safe directions for the process of of downloading books from nls unzipping them and putting them on the cartridge. Definitions would be great, also. I have received at least three different sets of directions from people trying to be helpful and, so far, I have not gotten this process right. Any ideas?
