I sent my cassette back after reading my first book on the new digital
player.

A word of caution.  I had problems when using the flash drive.  They are not
as durable as the cartages that you can buy from Perkins.  It's worth the
cash to buy a couple and the USB cable to make them go.

I love having the ability to put several books on a single cartridge.  I am
currently reading a Bruce Catton trilogy that I read in Junior High and I
have all three books on a single cartridge.   .

Man, I just got one of those new digital book players from the National 
Library Service.  You might wonder why a computer nerd like myself took so 
long to ask for one of those things. Well, I guess mostly the reason is that

I have 2 tape players that I bought myself plus the one from NLS. So now I 
have to use the player from the NLS all of the time.

But holy cow, is this thing nice. I downloaded a book and put it on a USB 
thumb drive and was listening to a book amybe 3 minutes after getting 
started. And navigation within the book is very nice.

Your tax dollars at work.
