Yes, it makes your drive run parallel to the unit instead of sticking
straight out. I like using both a USB and cartridges. I download things from
Bard and put directly on the USB. Then, when my library sends me cartridges,
while the player is off, pop in the cartridge to hear the description, turn
off the player, pop out the cartridge, turn the player back on and I am
right where I left off in the book on the USB drive.

I like to read non-fiction when I am cleaning the house and can concentrate
on it to a degree. But, at night, I like to listen to fiction as I fall
asleep. By using both methods to access books, I have them easily
switchable. I can also switch between books on the USB drive and it
remembers where I am in both books, too.

	What exactly is that?  I'm confused because I wasn't aware that
something like that is available.  Does it reposition the USB drive to be
more flush with the player?  I've used both the USB drives in the port on
the side of the player and the cartridges.  I'm interested in how this
works.

		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/

			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.
