Unfortunately, you'll get complaints no matter what you do or how you do it. If the next generation Bookport is as well thought out and easy to use as this one, and I am sure that it will be, I believe that it will be a winner! -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of PAMELA RADER Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 2:43 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Labeling Chargers I believe it will charge through the USB Port. Yes, it would be nice if all chargers were , labled, but whenever it's been brought up at meetings, we were told that we don't have the manpower to do such a thing. And, even if we did, you know then we'd get thousands of complaints telling us they don't like the way in which the labels were done. I got 2 items for Christmas that required labeling and I promptly got out the dymo tape and went to work. Nothing wrong with the suggestion, I totally understand where you're coming from, I doubt it's going to happen, though. There will also be an on/off switch and lock switch.

If it has to be large, seperate the box from the plug, which will hopefully work over the full range of voltages when properly adapted worldwide. Of course, USB charging would help if the battery packs could be charged external to the unit via USB. I already do that with a Bluetooth adapter that I use.
