Hi, Sharon! I'm glad to hear that you finally received your book port. The device has a lock feature. Press the 1 and 3 keys together and the unit will say the word locked. Then no matter what keys you press accidentally or otherwise, the unit will beep at you. If you want to unlock the unit, press the 1 and 3 keys again and the unit will say unlocked. The locking feature works great when you're reading and you don't want to stop the reading. Hope this helps.
