You can load onto your flash drive and choose among and play several books and magazines by upgrading your player for the "Bookshelf" feature. You can do this by going to the internet to this web site address:

You download the upgrade in the same manner that you download any book or magazine from BARD. first be certain that you use a clean flash drive without any books or magazines already stored on it. You must then download the upgrade files to the computer; then you must unzip the files to your flash drive; then insert the flash drive into your player; then turn on the player and hit the play button. The narrator will instruct at that point.

Once you have "played" the upgrade on your player, you will be able to use bookshelf to distinguish among and choose a particular downloaded book or magazine to listen to on your player. Insert the flash drive with several items on it. Power on your player. Hold down the Play/Stop button. You will here the narrator state that your player is in bookshelf mode. The narrator will recite the name of the item in first position. Hit the forward or the reverse button on your player. The narrator will announce the title of the next item, and so forth. Remove your finger from the Play/Stop button once you are at the item you desire to listen to next.
