Judy Dixon didn't really mention it, but I assume you can still download books to your PC and then transfer them over to your iPhone to use in the BARD Mobile app. I know they don't want to depend on iTunes, but I think they also said that the books they read now with the alpha are being copied over. I mention this because I just use a 2G blank NLS cartridge with my DTBM and a 17G card in my booksense, which has about 12G of music on it. I can get about 6 books on my NLS cartridge and about a dozen on my Booksense. I have more than that on my PC, but I don't bother keeping every book I've ever downloaded on my PC either. If I want to reread a book, I can just download it again.
