MessageI agree with Neal. The fact it records on a flash card is very 
attractive since one can add memory at will and it would make a fantastic 
device for lectures. The mic appears to be sensitive but the recordings can 
easily become distorted and recording anything in a vehicle is, for me, 
impossible.

  Subject: [bookport] better recording quality in the book port


  OK, Here is my new feature for today.  I am sure it has been mentioned 
before, but I have some different observations after playing with a number of 
MP3 players that have very good sound recorders in them.  So, you've probably 
guessed by now that I want a recorder that is a bit better than the one we 
already have in the book port.  Yes, the book port is a reading device, just as 
the other commercial MP3 players are marketed as MP3 players, but many of them 
have recorders.  This seems to me to be just as vital or even more so for the 
book port.  If people are reading a book, it would be nice to quickly be able 
to record a memo that might relate to what they are reading.  Now, my bias is 
for a very good quality recorder.  I guess that comes from my running a 
recording studio.  But, how good it has to be will be a factor of price, what 
others want, and a few other things I can't possibly know.  The bottom line is 
that I would like the quality of the voice recorder in the book port to be 
somewhat better than it is now.

  Thanks.
  Neal
