plus, the brand that works this month won’t work next, because the manufacturer
has put some junk on it. Plus, you need that little elbow for the side port
which is an accident waiting to happen, and you need fingers like needle-nosed
pliers to get the blasted things into the front slot, assuming it can be done.
And, often, there have been problems with playing things back, or so I’ve
heard. I, too, have stuck with the cartridges.

For that matter, you don't even have to buy a blank cartridge. You can just

Of course, some thumb drives work better with the machine than others, so it
would be a good idea to get some advice on which brand to buy on the BARD
Talk list.

Hi
I have no idea how you would listen to Book Share books on the
Talking book player. I love that I can just stick the Stream in my
pocket and head out.
