Oh, sorry for missing that. Hope I didn't cause any confusion.

Kevin,

I believe that Kathy is talking about the "L" converters that NLS provides. You plug your usb drive into it and then you plug it into the SIDE of your player where there is a usb port.

Kathy,

If that is what you are talking about, I got mine through my regional NLS library. I'm in Indiana across from Louisville, but I believe you would call the state Library in Frankfort and ask them about it. There may have been a limit on the number given to each state, so they may or may not still be available. I have used mine for well over a year now.

It is the same kind of cartridge talking books come on. You can order them by calling American Printing House for the Blind 1-800-223-1839 or online at 
http://www.aph.org/products/

Where is the best place to    buy these at, and not sure what it is called  but
it is usb and plugs into your usb prt on the nls player so that your jump
drive plugs in and it goes up and down instead of sticking out.

Personally, I prefer using the NLS cartridges that you can purchase from the
American Printing House for the Blind.  They cost $12.  I like these better
than a thumb drive because they go in the front of the player as opposed to
the side.  I often carry my player around the house, and when I use a thumb
drive, I have bumped it into things because it sticks out the side.  I know
that some have been successful at putting a thumb drive into the front of
the player, but I have not.  The APH cartridges are 2 gig, and I can get
approximately 15 books on    one cartridge, depending on the size of the book,
of course.  I have multiple cartridges and plan to keep some books
permanently; however, I have others that i add and    delete books from.  The
cost isn't much more than a thumb drive, and it just works best for me.
