there is no way to convert the old book port to play talkingbooks. and the book 
port is not a boat anchor it plays more file formats than anything out there.  
It is still a good deal for the money.  aft is not the first kid on the block 
but when they show up with a product it is well thought out.

     You no, I do understand that as blind individuals we have no lobby, 
absolutely no voice, and most of all no business complaining about anything. Of 
course I don't want to seam ungrateful for what I have, but not being able to 
play n l s books on the current bookport is a stone bummer.
     To many blind persons four hundred fifty dollars is a large chunk of 
change. As we all no lots of blind folks are on a fixed income and don't have 
much discretionary money to spend on book players.
     I wonder, could it be possible that the printing house could set up a 
program where  you could send your bookport back for a conversion so it would 
play n l s books. Maybe this could say cost fifty bucks and be sent free 
matter. After all this is,  "the American printing house for, and I do mean 
for, the blind.
