Patricia, I get my books from the Mid-Illinois Talking Book Center. Is that yours? I have 13 boks withi three of those going back today. My reserve and request lists (is there a difference, really) have about 14 books together. All I know is that most books I order on line take a long time and these are not current bestsellers by any means. I would be interested in knowing others' experiences but this is not the list for that. marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia" <pzoell...@tx.rr.com> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 5:24 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] help witih nls cartridge-need directions
