Hello, I for one have a issue with the mp3 decoder put out white noise after just having it less then 5 days and after reading alot of the issues the Book Port has I believe I am just going to give back the device because I am not going to be able to send it back for issues that pop up and their be not much to do. I am in college and need a device that will not go blank on me. I do how ever feel that the book port is a great device once a lot of the bugs are figured out and is more stable then it is now. I think the book port has a great protantal of becoming a mulity pourpes tool in the future that it could be come the smalles and greates book reader with other fuctions that some will use and other won't but intill it is more stable and no so flaky I am going to be handing it back in. I am just waiting for now for a program / device that will play the RFB&D and the new NLS books Talk soon, will continul to read post of upcomming fixes and features. Christopher PS: Why does the BP have the issue with the MP3 decoder and why is this not be able to be updated / reflashed through the USB cable to fix the issue????
