Bruce: Take the Book Port as it is. We cannot currently confirm any unusual battery drain issues with any recent beta firmware. Rob Meredith >>> dogriver@xxxxxxxx 08/11/05 05:37PM >>> I am going on a trip starting tomorrow. I want to use my BP to read during the trip. If there is this battery drain issue with the beta firmware, I'd rather temporarily go to a version without this drain for the duration of the trip. Can I do this? An answer from someone this evening would really be appreciated.
