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.

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.
