Hi Maria; Thank you very much for this great information. I have played around with the buttons and didn't find anything on using Book Shelf. I do have 2 books downloaded onto a cartridge and your info will help very much. Thanks again, take care. Mike

The bookshelf is available if you have downloaded more than one book on a cartridge. To access the bookshelf after inserting the cartridge and turning on player: Hold play/pause button for a few seconds till you hear bookshelf. You can then use your forward or rewind arrows to move between books. Hit play on a book to start reading. Your place will be saved on each book. Neat.
