Well, NLS is switching over to flash, but their flash cards will probably be proprietary. They will be enclosed in a cartridge that will fit into their players. This is because the majority of NLS patrons are senior citizens, and they're trying to come with a way that the flash cards can be safely and easily handled, and, not lost! -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tiffany H.

As of now I don't mind the process, but isn't NLS eventually switching over to flash as well? At that point it would be really great to just pop the card in and out and not have to bother with the transfer process, which ultimately is just basically duplicating what they've just sent you anyways. Maybe I'm wrong.. Tiff
