If you wish to save a copy of a publication it is possible to use the copy function of key 3 when
reading the publication to copy it to the Talking Books bookshelf of the SD card. It is not possible
to delete publications from the NFB Newsline online bookshelf as the automatic synchronization
will remove old editions and add new ones as they become available. You can choose to make a
NFB book persistent by using the “Prevent auto-deletion of an NFB Newsline issue” option on key
3. To unsubscribe from a publication, use the “Unsubscribe from an NFB publication” option on key
3. A confirmation prompt will ask you to confirm before unsubscribing from your publication, press
the Confirm key to confirm or any other key to cancel. Note that this will remove all books for this
publication from internal memory, including books that were marked as persistent.
From the NFB Newsline configuration menu, you have the option of choosing how often the Trek
downloads new content with the item “Get latest editions”. You can choose to have new content
downloaded “Always” (default), which can be up to several times a day, or “Once daily”.
