[Dtb-talk] issues with using victor stream

[Ellen Bartlett]

Hello Cheryl,
The latest versions of the Victor's "operating system," if i may call
it that, and the Stream Companion, can put books on the Stream
withought having to unzip them.

I'm curious what else is confusing you. I've been using the Stream for
downloading books ever since i got it in June. I can try to give you
some pointers, if nothing else.
Take care,
Ellen
