No, it's no rumor and yes, you must have been on some other world! <grin>
We've been discussing it here and there's even been a Main Menu program on
ACB Radio devoted to it. We know for sure that it'll be about half the
thickness of the current BP; that it'll use a rechargeable battery; that
it'll have more built-in memory for storage of both reading materials and
firmware; and that it'll use the smaller SecureDigital (SD) card rather than
the current CompactFlash (CF) card. Also, we know there will not be any kind
of trade-in program for owners of the current model. As far as any new file
formats, I believe that it's supposed to play the new NLS digital Talking
Books. Pamela has said that they're looking at September or thereabouts as
the time frame for the great unveiling.

Subject: [bookport] I heard something about a new unit
I heard something about a new bookport being developed. Maybe, I am just in
another world, but I hadn't heard anything about this till recently. Is
this just a rumor? I love my BP, and I can't imagine life without it.
