I agree. I think we're too quick to want to stick with VersaBraille
technology in a PakMate era (all brand names and trademarks are those of

Hi Jerry,
What do you have against progress and innovation? With this sort of thinking we would have never replaced the horse and buggy. It seems to me that you are too easily satisfied and are not thinking outside the box.

Tom and List, My hope is that the Book Port evolves based upon its ability to read books, its small size, and its reasonable cost.
Here is why I bought the Book Port
1. I can read a book, in all of the formats, with a device that fits into my pocket. And I can have 100 more books on hand, in my other pocket. Doing this with a CD player would require a larger CD player, and a stack of CDs.
2. The Book Port uses inexpensive off the shelf batteries, which I can replace myself.
3. I had no further expectations for the Book Port; any more than I would expect a hammer to do the job of a drill.
Sincerely,
Jerry Weinger

Any consideration of a new unit should include a wide, thick rubber edge to protect the unit from accidental falls from tables and pockets etc.
