I strongly support Pete on this one. I much prefer using NiMH rechargeables 
and while I've sort of managed to figure out their approximate status, it'd 
be really nice if an accurate status reading was possible.

Subject: [bookport] Battery Usage with Rechargeable Batteries


I noticed on the Book Courier web pages that a recent update was to
include a setting for whether the user was using rechargeable or
non-rechargeable batteries so that the user could more accurately
determine how much battery life was left in the unit.  I think this
would be a good addition for a future Bookport upgrade (since the Book
Courier and Bookport are basically the same hardware).
I would guess many users (like myself) use rechargeable batteries in
their Bookports.  This is not only less expensive, but more
environmentally friendly.
