Hi!
I heard that Bookport may be coming out with a new upgrade in the future. 

I have two possible suggestions. Of course I love my Bookport. I am just making 
these suggestions as food for thought.

1. There is an IPOD charger which one can purchase from any store which has a 
battery charger that the IPOD plugs into and two speakers one on each side. Is 
it possible to put something like a rechargeable Lithium battery in the 
Bookport and make a similar charger? Or could the Bookport be designed to fit 
into the charger's that are already on the market? 
2. Could the sound quality of the Bookport be enhanced maybe to allow one to 
adjust for treble or base?

Thank you for hearing my suggestions. Keep up the good work. 
Hope

.I agree with you.  As long as it works and is affordable to most people, 
.let's just be happy with it unless the changes can be made without making 
.the cost go up.
