Steve,

Correct, but you can request a cd copy when you choose a book from the 
streaming service, and when you receive that copy in the post you can, of 
course, play it on the ptx1 or copy it onto the ptx1 for that matter.

As far as I know, that's not quite right.  From talking to the nib last 
week, you can only stream to a pc.  The ability to do this on the PTX1 has 
not yet been enabled.  The ability is there but not yet activated via a 
software update or upgrade.  Also, you can not download books as such as the 
service is a streaming service.  This means that you can not then copy the 
books onto something like the PTX 1 or the Human Ware Stream.
