Nls is in the prelaunch faze of the dtb machines. You will be able to use a thumb drive in the basic model. Only thing is it has to be a thumb drive that doesn't launch software I learned that the hard way. And you cannot put the book in a folder on the drive it has to bee in the root drive unzipped. And only one book can go on the thumb drive. Just email me offlist for questions.
