From what I'm told, the audio format that NLS uses is more
processor-intensive than MP3's or other formats which the BP can
support. The processor in the BP is very old technology, so even if they
scooped out all the existing firmware and dedicated the BP to NLs books,
the processor likely could not handle it.
