Hi:
In short, we are no longer doing a Book Port 2, as it were. You can look at
the archives for this list, if you really want all the juicy stuff about that.
However, we are working on a replacement product with another company, that
will have a totally different name. We will make announcements on our
technology page and I will make announcement on this page as well, when that
product is ready to be available. Unlike the Book Port 2, we will not divulge
information on this product, until it is closer to being ready and we're sure
it's really going to happen.

Subject: [bookport] Bookport II?
I haven't heard anything about the possibility of a Bookport II for some
time now. Has APH abandoned plans for such a product?
Since APH began prototyping of a Bookport II, there have been several
interesting introductions to this market. Perhaps APH sees the market as
being flooded, making it difficult to introduce yet another such product.
Anyway, I still enjoy my original Bookport and have read well over 150 books
and many, many podcast on it. I think APH's software development team did a
superior job of introducing new features, fixing bugs, and generally being
extremely responsive to user's needs and request. I'm sure if APH decided
to continue their efforts in this area that they would do a great job again.
I would certainly understand, however, if there is to be no Bookport II
since it's a big development effort and there is already a lot of very good
competition out there.
Anyway, good luck in whatever transpires!
