Thanks for the info Phil. To be quite honest, it has probably been 5 years
since I last downloaded a book from NLS. I am not one to download music
either. When I want to listen to music, mostly classical, I listen to the
radio or play CD's. Perhaps I should get back to downloading NLS books, but
when you aren't feeling well it is difficult, at least for me, to get your
head around books. By far the best thing for me over the past year is
helping Stan design and equip his super station. It has given me something
to concentrate on, which is a good thing. No matter what they tell you,
battling cancer is no fun, HiHi.

Alan,
Eventually you can set up iCloud for free using your Plus iPhone. Then you
get most all the phone back except for NLS books you might want to read on
your iPhone. You get 5 gigs of backup storage and it does the backups
automatically and encrypts and compress's everything. I have 4.9 gig left
and that's after backing my phone to the Apple iCloud. If you need more
storage than 5 gigs, you can pay extra for it but the first 5 is free. The
compression rate is amazingly small so I probably have 10 gigs backed up and
still have almost the whole 5 gigs left to use.
Phil.
