Hi, My understanding is that NLS will put only one book on each cartrage.
Now depending, most cartrages are able to hold more than one book. Its basically a giant thumb drive. I know that other organizations that record for the blind will put more on a cartrage, saving extra mailing cartons and the like. This would be the religious organizations which watch ever penny and use them well. Dave Working together, sharing the light of salvation seen through the cross of Jesus Rev.

Doug from BARD support returned the following helpful info to my questions: *** You should first check what version your player has got right now by removing any cartridges or flash drives and then pressing the sleep button tentimes within a 30 second period. You'll hear your player's serial number and then the software version. If it's 2.3 or higher then you've already got the latest features; including putting multiple books on a cartridge or flash drive. If the version is lower, then use the following URL to obtain new software and to read the instructions on upgrading the machine. http://www.loc.gov/nls/DTBM/ <http://www.loc.gov/nls/DTBM/> That page has a link to the latest firmware, version 2.1.3. Please note that the last 4 letters, DTBM are uppercase. Now how does one activate the bookshelf feature? if you hold down the play key for about two seconds, you will hear the player go into bookshelf mode. Release the play button. Now you can use the arrows at each end of the play button to move to the books that are available. When you hear the title you wish to read, simply hit the play button. enjoy.
