No, you will be able to download the books on the PC but you won't be able to
play them on the PC. You'll have to download them and then copy them either
directly to the player or to a memory card to put in the player.

Does that mean that, even if we had a machine for download, like Stream, or,
hopefully soon, the Voice Sense, we still couldn't download books, after
all?
And all this time, they've been telling us we could. Now, I suppose, we'll
have to wait forever for the specialized machines and get our books on
cartrige only, after all.
WHAT A CROCK!
