Rick and List,
If I may respond to your email below, I will clarify. I strongly endorse
progress and innovation when I say that my hope is that the Book Port
evolves based upon its ability to read books, its small size, and its
reasonable cost. And yes, thinking outside the box is always a great tool.
Possibly there aught to be two boxes, Book Port, and Book Port Pro.
Possibly they would have the same footprint and price. Possibly they would
not. Possibly the Pro model would sport additional features such as USB
power source, wireless, portable synthesizer, a calculator, and possibly
other features that others will think of outside the box.
Sincerely,
Jerry Weinger,

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.
Rick

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.
