[Dtb-talk] Is it safe to delete books with the Victor Stream?

[Dewey Bradley]

Thanks for the info.
now with sandisk.
I have one in my cell phone, its not even near half size as the card I have 
in my stream.
What do you ask for when you go by one?
I don't know much about them as you can tell.
I guess I can show them the one I have, but I borrowed my stream from my 
talking book library, so it might say something on it that they might not 
know what to cell you.
