Hi Rich. How about providing some concrete examples about manual improvements? We = want to make this device as good as it can be, and the manual is a big = part of that. >>> richkar1@xxxxxxxxxxxx Saturday, October 16, 2004 10:38:13 AM >>> Hi everyone; I'm a relatively new user and love my bookport. I'm actually beginning to figure things out. As for my wish list, first of all I think the manual could use some serious work. Yes everything is there but some of the = basics are discussed endlessly and some of the more complex issues are just = touched on. Secondly, lots of people have mentioned their need for an a c adaptor. = The issue as pretty well been dismissed because of weight and size. I would think that all you would need is a plug. The real work is done by the = unit that plugs into the wall outlet. It doesn't really matter how big the = wall charger has to be. Using txt files and bookshare files, however, I have read several books = and not put a dent in the batteries. I haven't done a lot with mp3 files = which may make the difference. Rich
