Congrads on getting a stream.  You'll love it.  It would be a good idea to 
create folders; because once you get a lot of books, it will be challenging to 
find a particular one.  You can't skip from folder to folder, like on a 
computer, but if you put them in folders, all the books of one kind will be 
grouped together.  If you use the go to book key and ask for, say, 29, and find 
it is in your mystery folder, and the one you want is in the suspense folder, 
depending on how many folders and books you have, you will know to go to book 
35 or 48, or whatever.  Sounds challenging, but you'll get the hang of it, and 
having all those books is worth it.  Daisy, and txt books each have their 
folder.  Brf books go in the txt folder.  Daisy and txt each have their 
advantages and disadvantages.  Daisy takes up more memory, but it's better for 
books with lots of headings.  You'll love getting audible, music and NLS.  the 
portability and internal speakers are extremely convenient. 
Have fun.
