Books on disk

I would get an mp3 player. You can hold a lot of books on the one device, and you can connect it to the car system, external speakers, or headphones easily. And, you don't have to deal with annoying skips.

I forgot all about MP3 players. That's a good idea.

Also the FAT32 vs NTFS format was probably the problem when I tried the flash drive. I'm fairly sure NTFS is the default format now on windows.

Thanks for all the advice, we are antiApple so those suggestions are not applicable, but thanks for the suggestions. I'll try a FAT32 flash drive and if that does not work a MP3 player.
I convert all our audio books to MP3. Last time I tried our public library they had a thin selection and most of what They had was checked out. But that was years ago.

USB flash drives as long as they are 32GB or smaller are preformated by default as FAT32. Windows up to and including Win10 by default will offer to format external USB flash drives of 32GB or less with FAT32. NTFS on those drives are optional and Windows does give you the option to format NTFS if you want..

Technically 32GB is the max internal limit that Windows is supposed to format FAT32.. There are workarounds and I have formated external HDs up to 1TB as FAT32, but that must be done via other utilities.

Technically speaking drives larger than 32GB should be NTFS or ExFAT, ExFAT was developed to get past the MS 32GB limit of FAT32 but may present compatibility issues for some devices..
