In addition to playing NLS books, the digital player also plays books from Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. The entire 58,000 book RFB&D collection is available digitally, unlike the NLS collection. Currently, registration and membership for downloadable books is free. If you are currently receiving services through NLS, verification of disability can be done without sending in medical paperwork. The RFB&D books co-exist on my USB drive with the NLS books with no problem. It is necessary to install an RFB&D activation key on the NLS player.
I was advised by several end users to only purchase the Kingston Data Traveler model 101 or 102 for the NLS player. I am using a four-gigabyte version of the 102 series with absolutely no problems.
