I think part of the reason the bp doesn't have an on/off switch is that if you turned the entire unit off, it would reset itself, losing all the data [clock, prefs, etc] but what would actually be useful is it it were wired up so the switch turned off the connection from the keypad to the book port. That way you could actually listen to books, music, etc and still completely lock out the keypad, as well as lock it out and not lose any calendar settings.

I agree. Maybe the new BP will have an on/off switch. At 11:59 AM 11/29/2006, Lou Kolb wrote:Dan, It has been discussed before and it's a pet peev of mine, although a relatively minor one. I would like to se a lock state where the only keysthat power up the unit at all are the 1 plus 3 keys to unlock it. Perhaps there is a hardware related reason for having it this way, I don't know butI have had the unit lock up in an on state when carrying it in a pocket or bag even when it was supposedly locked to begin with.
