And you know, even if I lose all the settings as long as my place in
files is remembered, what is the big deal? I don't use the Bookport as
a clock, and I never try to read books with my Braille watch. Each
device has its own gifts.

From my perspective, all this worrying about losing or not losing the
time=20
just doesn't get me especially worked up. I wear a watch; anyone I'm
around=20
wears a watch; I'm never far from a radio or television. In the overall=20
scheme of things where the Book Port is concerned, it's simply not that=20
important to me. If the device had never included a clock, I wonder how
many=20
would ever have missed it to begin with.

Yes, but if you are listening to an audible file or some other mp3 file,
you won't get the warning at all until your reading just stops and you
get
a read error. Then the batteries go completely dead. There is no time to
save the time. This has happened to me twice at least.
