I've just been advised off-list that I misread Pam's original message and that it was _not_ Book Port 2 that was refused permission to play the DTB modules, but only having the original BP modified in order to allow this. Apologies for my misinterpretation. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Walt Smith Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 3:21 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: future of bookport So now we know: NLS refused APH permission to include the technology needed to play the new DTB modules. Given the long, long history of cooperation between NLS and APH, this is a real kick in <somewhere I'd better not mention on a family list> to APH and it shocks and appalls me. However, it does pretty well settle my personal future so far as reading devices are concerned: I'll get my two Book Ports repaired back to like-new status and then, wait until my local library can give me a DTB player along about 2010 or so. What a lousy state of affairs.
