I don't think we willl be adding AC support to the device. The battery =
life is already excellent, and adding AC would add complexity and cost to =

Hi all. Well, let's see now. Where do I start? I myself would like to =

an a/c adaptor feature added to the book port if it would not add to =

complexity or size of the unit. However, if the good folks at APH find =

technically or practically impossible to add the feature then so be it. =

second set of batteries have lasted much longer than the set included =

radio to listen to a program while traveling and didn't have one.

Braille=20
keyboard on the book port so I am a bit lost when I hear references to =
chord=20
commands and such like.
