Hi,

I just received my NLS player and I copied a book I had downloaded to an 
external USB disk drive, which has its own power, and I was able to connect 
it to the NLS player and listen to it.  After I finished the book, I 
disconnected the drive from the player, connected it to my BrailleSense Plus 
and deleted the book.  But when I connected the drive to the player, the 
book was still there.  I had to connect the drive to my BSP and format it, 
erasing everything I had on the drive.  Then, I connected the drive again to 
the NLS player and the book was gone.

Question:  Do I have to format the drive every time I want to delete a book? 
Would it have made a difference if I had used my PC to delete the book?

If I buy a cartridge and copy a book to it, will I have to format the 
cartridge every time I want to delete the book?

I tried to call my library, but the woman answering the phone said I had to 
talk with my reader assistant and all I could get was her voice mail.  I 
didn't leave a message because she isn't very bright and I had no confidence 
in her ability to answer my question.  So, I'm asking you, since hams are 
known to be the most intelligent people on earth, (grin).
