Hi Dave from Jim: I'm not sure I would get anything from an FM radio either. But I was putting the concept out there as an example of how technology can be added at little cost to the Book Port. Remeber when a transister radio was the size of a bar of soap. I took one apart once and believe me it was packed tight with electronic components. Now you can get an entire FM radio on a chip about the size of your thumb nail. I was hoping to simply get some creative thoughts going. I must admit now that I've read about 20 books on my Book Port, I too like so many here absolutely love the device. A friend of mine reminded me the other day that I used to rely on volunteers to read to me. Now I can scan and read many books without a hitch. Just the same I think it is great to think of ideas that might make our lives much more fun.

If I were in the market for a device like the bookport 20 years or so ago, I would have thought including a FM radio in such a device would not only have been desirable but essential. My rejection of the notion now is not a matter of being unwilling to accept that bookport be changed in any way. It is a case of their being little or nothing now on FM radio worth listening to. Even at only $10 a pop, the cost is not justified in what it offers. The fact that I depend on the internet for what nominally qualifies as radio doesn't stem from any lack of stations, far from it. Does anyone know where I could get a portable unit that would interface with my wireless network that would be as accessible as navigating files on a bookport? Cheers, Dave
