Hi, Dave
Both my wife and I totally agree with you about the sad introduction, if it's
fact, of rechargeable batteries. As stated by others, the massive benefit of
the AA's is their long-life and ease of replacement when dead and you're not
near a power source.
I decided to send this 'I agree' message in the hopes that Springer are still
monitoring and will be able to take note of the number of people who would
still prefer to use standard batteries. If the decision to use a rechargeable
battery is set in concrete, the bare minimum it should be is replaceable so
that a spare could be carried. However, to my mind, even this would be second
best.
The fact that the Victor Reader Stream has a rechargeable battery is the major
reason why I hesitated to buy one!
Regards
Richard Bartholomew

Subject: [bookcourier] re-chargeable batteries
Hello Chaps
Though I am verry much looking forward to the facilitys the new and improved
Book Courier will offer, I must confess, I am saddened by the prospect of the
unit using Re-chargeable batteries. I am sure this will be music to the ears
of the enviromentalists out there but I can think of any number of scenarios
where I shall be unable to get to a point where I might charge my unit. The
convenience of carrying a spare packet of new batteries far outweighs any
advantage that re-chargeables have to offer in my humble opinion. But perhaps
I am jumping the gun here? will the re-chargeable batteries be the kind that
are available from any high street electrical shop, or will they be the
dedicated kind only buyable from a certifyed Book Courier dealer? All the best
as ever.
Dave
