The NLS has earned the highest praise and support that we can give them with 
the new digital players!  I got mine Thursday night, and with help, I have 
discovered a few fascinating things.
1.  If you load multiple books on a travel drive, you can open the library 
by holding down the play button for 3 seconds.  Then the right and left 
arrows go through the books.
2.  Kingston travel drives are recommended, but I had an 8 GB verbatim store 
and go here, it works fine.  Sorry if I spelled that wrong.
2.  You have to be careful with this, thin fingers help.  The cartridges 
connect to the machine via a standard USB port at the back of the cassette 
well.  To avoid sticking a drive out the side of the machine, plug the drive 
in to the port inside the well.  Tiny drives are not recommended, unless you 
have really thin fingers.  The battery doesn't report more than 29 hours of 
life, but I hear it actually runs the machine for 35 hours.
You may have to have the latest firmware for all of this to work, Mine says 
2.1.4, I don't know how to get or update the machine yet.  If you have the 
stream companion software, you can use it to transfer downloaded books to 
the travel drive.  My thanks to everybody who has been so helpful in 
answering my many questions.
