I definitely agree with that one ... continue using regular aa bateries; not
one that has to be recharged.

I believe that while there are no plans to further develop the Book Courier
as it is currently configured, Springer Designed is devoting significant
time and effort to the next generation BC product.
If you wish to have some say in that effort, I recommend that you let your
interests be known.
For example, I hope that any future BC designs allow one to work off regular
AA alkaline batteries rather than off lithium or computer batteries, as I
find it much easier to pop in new AA's when needed than to have to plug in a
product to charge it. Especially if I am on the road for extended periods
and I don't have a laptop or access to a desktop.
