[Dtb-talk] stupid question

[Jim Barbour]

You don't need the softpak to listen to audible books.  The softpak
gives you the ability to listen to enhanced audible books, which are
the same titles with better audio.

I believe that the firmware updates will be model specific.  One for the
old stream and one for the new one.  The new stream has a clock and a
wifi connection that the old stream doesn't have.

While it's possible humanware will build firmware that adapts to which
model of stream it is running on, I don't think that will happen.
