Pamela I wish APH would reconsider making the rechargeable battery pack proprietary. The rechargeable feature is a good idea. However many of the users of the BookPort are on limited incomes and typically one is unable to get bye sending a device in for servicing for less than @100 when all is said and done.

Or, could they be removed and ordinary non-rechargeable batteries be substituted; or, is it way too soon to know? I only ask this question because I have been in situations where I really wanted to finish a book and the batteries died and I wasn't near any kind of outlet.
